Parakeet Blog: The Shape of Apps

, ,

Mac app icons have historically featured diverse shapes, but recent macOS versions enforce a uniform squircle shape to harmonize visuals across the platform, restricting arbitrarily-shaped icons to maintain consistency and system integration. This “Squircle Jail” approach, introduced after macOS Big Sur and solidified in macOS Tahoe, trades the expressive freedom of bespoke shapes for a cohesive Dock appearance that balances platform identity with app branding. The evolution reflects broader shifts toward simplified, scalable design suited to a growing and varied developer community, emphasizing the squircle as both canvas and container to effectively communicate the app’s function while fitting into Apple's ecosystem.
