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.

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