What SForesight does

Search By Meaning

Type what the symbol should do, like "a play button for media," and get ranked suggestions that fit your intent instead of literal string matches.

Real Names Only

Every suggestion is checked against the SF Symbols catalog, so the name you copy exists and renders. No guesses, no typos.

One-Click Copy

Click any result to copy its exact symbol name to the clipboard. Paste it into a Swift, SwiftUI, or UIKit file with no retyping.

See It Rendered

Each match shows the glyph next to its name, so you pick the right one at a glance and keep your interface consistent.

Opens The SF Symbols App

SForesight detects the SF Symbols app, opens it for deeper configuration, or links you to download it if it is not installed.

Buy Once, Own It

A single $9.99 purchase. No subscription, no ads, no upsells inside the app.

About SForesight

The symbol you mean, not the symbol you typed. Describe a concept and on-device machine learning finds the right SF Symbol in seconds.

SForesight is a native macOS tool for Apple-platform developers and designers who reach for SF Symbols every day. Apple's own browser makes you guess the exact name and scroll. SForesight understands what you mean, ranks the closest matches, and hands you the copy-ready name for your code.

SEARCH BY MEANING, NOT KEYWORDS

On-device ML maps your intent to the right glyph. Type an idea, get ranked suggestions that actually fit, not just literal string matches.

FIND IT FAST

Ranked results appear as you type, so you spend seconds per lookup instead of minutes scrolling a giant grid.

STAY VISUALLY CONSISTENT

Surface related symbols at a glance and keep your interface coherent across screens and platforms.

ONE-CLICK COPY

Grab the exact symbol name with a single click and paste straight into SwiftUI, UIKit, or any Swift file. No typos, no retyping.

Frequently asked questions

How much does SForesight cost?

It is a one-time purchase of $9.99 on the Mac App Store. There is no subscription and no ads.

Is there a subscription or in-app purchase?

No. You pay once and own the app. There are no recurring charges and nothing locked behind extra purchases.

How does the search work?

You describe the symbol in plain language. SForesight interprets your intent, then validates every suggestion against the SF Symbols catalog so you only see names that exist.

Does it need an internet connection?

Yes. SForesight sends your description to a hosted model to rank suggestions, so you need to be online to search. It detects when you go offline and retries automatically once the connection returns.

Which platforms and frameworks does it help with?

The copied names work anywhere SF Symbols do, including SwiftUI and UIKit across iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, visionOS, and tvOS projects.

What macOS version do I need?

SForesight runs natively on macOS 14.7 and later.

Can I get a refund if it is not for me?

Refunds are handled by Apple through the App Store. You can request one using Apple's standard "Report a Problem" process.

Is it affiliated with Apple?

No. SForesight is an independent app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Apple. SF Symbols is a trademark of Apple Inc.
