Browse SF Symbols on Mac

Apple introduce SF Symbols this year in WWDC 2019, it is a set of over 1,500 consistent, highly configurable symbols you can use in your app.

You simply initialize it with UIImage init(systemName:) or new SwiftUI Image init(systemName:). You can also adjust it width and size to matched your font with some configuration like this.

VStack ( spacing : 20 ) {

Image ( systemName : "bag" )

Image ( systemName : "bag" ) . font ( . largeTitle )

Image ( systemName : "bag" ) . font ( Font . system ( . largeTitle ) . bold ( ) )

}

UIImage ( systemName : "bag" , withConfiguration : UIImage . SymbolConfiguration ( textStyle : . largeTitle ) )

This is really great, the only problem is I don't know the name of those 1,500 symbol :(

Luckily Apple provide an app called SF Symbols app hidden in their Human Interface Guidelines page.

This wonderful app let you search through those 1,500 icons with ease.
