About
McKinley replaces the usual round trip of exporting an SF Symbols template, editing it in a general vector app and re-importing it. You draw once with a pen tool, boolean operations, shapes and text, and the same objects are edited across every weight from Ultralight to Black so the paths stay compatible for interpolation. Strokes stay strokes, colors are set on the objects, and previews, including animations like Magic Replace, use Apple's own symbol renderer. Symbols sync straight into an Xcode asset catalog, SVGs can be imported, and exports cover SF Symbols, SVG and Android VectorDrawable. It is a native AppKit app that can be scripted with AppleScript. Needs macOS 15 or later.
