Show HN: Add custom icons to macOS Finder sidebar favorites

1 point

I built this because I wanted custom icons for my project folders in Finder's sidebar. macOS supports this via FinderSync extensions, but each icon requires its own app bundle.

SidebarFavorites Manager automates this - pick a folder, choose an SF Symbol (or import a custom SVG), and it generates the icon app for you.

- macOS 13.0+ - Uses native CFBundleSymbolName - No daemon needed - icons persist after closing the manager - MIT licensed

Demo video in the README. Happy to answer questions about FinderSync quirks.
