Icon packs

Aegis supports icon packs to make it easier to assign icons to the entries in your vault. There are no official icon packs, but the community maintains a number of third-party icon packs you may want to check out. To learn how to create your own Aegis-compatible icon pack, see the documentation.

• aegis-icons

  Unofficial monochrome-styled 2FA icons.

  

• delta-aegis-icons

  Delta version of the unofficial monochrome-styled 2FA icon pack aegis-icons.

  

• aegis-simple-icons *

  This project periodically generates an icon pack for Aegis based on Simple Icons.

  

• aegis-simple-icons-outlined *

  This is a variant on the aegis-simple-icons pack where the icons contain no solid background and just the outlines are being used.

  

* The icons are automatically generated, so not all of them are as high quality as the ones you'll find in aegis-icons.
