Using Without an API Key
You can still change app icons without an API key by:
- Using local image files (click Choose from the Local or drag & drop an image)
- Using icons bundled within the app itself (shown in the "Local" section)
Troubleshooting
If the API test fails:
- Check that your key is correct (no extra spaces)
- Verify your internet connection
- The macosicons.com API may be temporarily unavailable
