homebrew

brew install hitblast/tap/drs

cargo

cargo install defaults-rs

mise

mise use -g cargo:defaults-rs

Alter

Alter is a minimal macOS app which can be used to customize your app icons with ease.

Could've rewritten in Rust.

View Project

quick-install.md

My first macOS app which taught me about plenty of things like altering defaults, System Integrity Protection, CFBundle attributes, all while I tried to make a business logic for changing other app icons.

Install it using:

homebrew

brew install --cask hitblast/tap/alter

hookman

Add hooks to your Git repository using a TOML file.

Being even lazier and skipping shell commands.
