Icon Museum
243 iOS and macOS app icons collected as craft objects, one page each
Tier C · WeakGalleryReferenceicon.museum
Icon Museum collects app icons and treats each one as a finished piece of design. The sitemap holds 243 app pages under /apps/<name>, alongside /wall, /about and /press. The subject is narrow on purpose. An app icon has to work at 60 pixels and at 512, carry a brand, and survive beside a hundred others on a home screen. Very little else collects that specific problem, and the entries name the app so the work is traceable, with pages such as not-boring-camera, acute-calculator and aesty-ai-stylist-planner. The site is a client-rendered shell of about 3.6 KB. A request for /llms.txt returns the application HTML rather than a text file, so the catch-all route answers every path and there is no machine index beyond the sitemap.
For an agent
Walk /sitemap.xml, not the home page. The site serves a 3.6 KB shell, and the sitemap is the only route to the 243 app pages at /apps/<name>. Do not fetch /llms.txt. It answers 200 but returns the application HTML, because the catch-all route serves every path. That is a false positive, not an agent index. Reach for it when the brief is an app icon specifically. This is a reference for one artefact that has to read at 60 pixels and at 512, and it does not help with anything inside the app.
Why it is here. The app icon is the one piece of a product that every user sees before anything else, and almost nothing collects it on its own terms.

Provenance
Verified 2026-08-30. HTTP 200. https://icon.museum/ 200 but only 3,614 bytes, and the served HTML carries just the title "Icon Museum - Curated App Icon Gallery & Inspiration" and the description "A curated collection of the finest app icons. Browse, discover, and explore beautifully crafted iOS and macOS app icons by top designers." /sitemap.xml 200 with 247 URLs, of which 243 are /apps/<name> pages, plus the root, /about, /press and /wall; sample app pages are /apps/not-boring-camera, /apps/untitled, /apps/acute-calculator and /apps/aesty-ai-stylist-planner. /llms.txt answers 200 but returns the application HTML shell, starting `<!doctype html>` with the same title tag, so the catch-all route serves it.
