Reduze - Icon Pack

About this app

Found a gorgeous icon pack, only to discover it's inconsistent? Some icons shine, while others break the rules and spoil the set.

Well, Reduze is different.
It's consistent.

Reduze is inspired by Google's Material Design while setting itself apart from any other icon pack you've seen.

The 1000+ icons have a flat circular design and come in 7 carefully chosen colors. All icons get completely recreated and elaborately improved to be perfectly consistent.

There's also dynamic calendar support and a matching clock widget.

I'm fully aware a lot of popular apps are still missing so please send an icon request for those and be a little patient. Thanks :)

To apply this icon pack you need to use a supported launcher like one of the following:
Nova, Action, ADW, Hyperion, Lawnchair, Niagara, Pixel, Smart, Poco, …
However most other launchers should work too, just try!

What about adaptive icons?

I think this tech is very cool, and I considered switching to adaptive icons when it first became possible. However, I decided against it because I optimize my designs specifically for the circle shape. If they were a different shape, I'd design many of them differently to make optimal use of the space. So even though I like customizability, in this case I prioritize perfection.

Will there be a paid version?

If I did this, I'd feel obligated to ship regular updates, and I simply have way too many other projects running to take on more responsibilities. So please take this as a gift from me. Either it's useful to you as it is, or you can choose any of the other great icon packs on the Play Store.

Why are some icons outdated?

One of the projects I'm working on is an icon pack manager. It will give me a clear side-by-side comparison between the current official app icons and the pack's icons. Once that's working properly, outdated icons will be much easier for me to spot.

Why are updates rare?

Here's how I spend my time:
– Full-time job as a media designer (print shop, laser cutting, 3D printing, more)
– Web dev, mostly apps we use at our company: book-cover designer, imposition and cutting-machine software, copy-shop counter, and a few more internal tools (currently private, but I plan to release them at some point)
– Spiritual clothing brand: https://8ix.cc/
– YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/@leon8ix
– Reduze icon pack + icon pack manager web app
So I won't forget about Reduze – it's dear to my heart and it's what really taught me design – but I very rarely find the time to work on it.

Why are some icons completely different from the originals?

You have to understand: brands care deeply about their identity and brand recognition. Your launcher is advertising real estate to them. I, however, care about a beautiful and consistent home screen. Some original app icons simply don't scale well to small sizes – especially multi-letter wordmarks or overly detailed imagery. I try to preserve the original concept while “reduzing” it to fit Reduze's design language. But for some icons, there's no way to recreate the original in an optimized form that works as an app icon. In those rare cases, I design something new that still captures the app's idea and purpose as best I can. You'll get used to these. Don't worry: most icons remain clearly recognizable as improved versions of the original.

Ratings and reviews

Great icons, very minimal. the only thing that I don't quite like is the fact that it is not adaptive. Other than that, it is flawless in every way. (But some of the base android apps don't have icons.) This could be paid but I still would get it. Update: Just found out a few icons are quite outdated, including Firefox and Zoom Second update: WOW that was a fast reply! Incredible dedication. Also Zoom reduced the logo to 2 letters briefly

super good quality icon pack . but lots of icons are missing . please update weekly

Fantastic icon pack but most of my icons are missing. It still looks good.
