Skicy is a native macOS app that composes App Store, Google Play, Mac App Store, and Microsoft Store screenshots: one continuous background, real device frames, exact export sizes, and a direct line to App Store Connect and Google Play. Designed for humans. Built for AI agents.
The Multi-Shot Canvas
Stop juxtaposing screenshots in a design tool. Skicy lays out up to ten screens side by side and stretches one continuous gradient, color, or photo behind all of them, so your listing reads as one designed panorama instead of a row of unrelated images.
Click a layout and Skicy reflows every capture live on one shared background.
Visual Playground
Every capture drops into a real device frame with adjustable zoom, tilt, and shadow. Pick one of 9 built in themes or bring your own gradient, solid color, or photo. Try one right here.
Gradient, solid, or full photo backgrounds, with zoom, pan, tilt, and dim controls for every shot.
The Automation Engine for Store Assets
A release used to mean an afternoon of exporting images and dragging them into two consoles.
Skicy's headless agent subcommand
turns it into a script: recompose every screen, re-render every store size, and publish to App Store
Connect and Google Play. Loop it over --locale
and every localization you ship refreshes in the same run. Claude Code and other coding agents drive
the whole flow with no window ever opening. Keep the project open in the app while an agent works
and the window reloads live with every edit, so there is never a stale document to close and reopen.
.skicy project format. A directory of JSON plus images. Agents author entire canvases with a documented schema, no GUI required.
agent preview renders a PNG the agent can read back, critique, and iterate on.
agent asc-upload and agent play-upload render every screen and deliver it to the right slot on App Store Connect or a Google Play edit, with streamed progress and a dry run mode. One command from raw capture to live store page, for either store.
add-locale adds a store language, then set-text, set-image, and set-visibility --locale layer per-language overrides on top of it, so anything you leave untouched keeps showing the base content. One --all-locales upload publishes every language in the same run.
agent validate returns stable, machine-readable warning codes for safe-area overflow, unreadable type, and stale locale overrides. agent capabilities reports exactly which verbs and features this binary supports, so a script checks reality instead of assuming a version number.

A note for AI agents reading this page: Skicy is operated headlessly through
skicy agent <verb>. The recommended loop is
new, then add-image, then preview (render a PNG and read it back), then export, asc-upload, or play-upload. The binary is
self documenting: run skicy agent docs for the complete
CLI reference and the .skicy JSON schema. A plain text overview of this site lives at
skicy.codeworks.bg/llms.txt.
Start Fast
From candy bright arcade layouts to a quiet dark pro look. Fill them with your own screenshots and words.
Classic, Bold Punch, Minimal Light, Playful, iPad Landscape, Dusk, Aurora Glass, Spotlight, Pastel Studio, and Hand Drawn round out the set of 14. Recolor any of them with one of 9 themes in a single click.
From The App Store
Four real store sets, shown exactly as they appear on the store as full screenshot strips, no cropping. Two of them, RepXP and Scrumbble, were composed end to end by an AI agent driving the same CLI documented above.
--all-locales.
And Everything Else
Native macOS, no account required, and obsessively focused on one job.
Export (⌘E), preview (⌘P), duplicate (⌘D). Reorder layers, zoom, and hop between screens without touching the mouse. A full shortcut sheet lives one ⌘? away.
Official Apple bezels for iPhone 17 and 16, iPad, Apple Watch, MacBook, iMac, and Studio Display download on demand right inside the app. Bundled Pixel frames, vector frames, and sketch styles round out the set.
No account and no sign in. Projects save as portable .skicy files
that embed every image, and everything renders locally on your Mac. No analytics, no tracking,
no accounts. Nothing you make leaves your Mac unless you publish it.
A true native macOS app, tuned for Apple silicon top to bottom. Runs best on macOS 26 and supports macOS 14 and later.
Upload your finished set straight to App Store Connect and Google Play, with one click or one CLI
command. Skicy maps each canvas to the right screenshot slot, composes the required 1024×500 Google
Play feature graphic like any other canvas, replaces old sets on request, and streams progress as it goes.
Before you replace anything, asc-download and
play-download pull back what is currently live so you can
compare it against your new set, or reuse one of those images directly.
Presets cover the App Store, Google Play, Mac App Store, and Microsoft Store, plus the 1024×500 Google Play feature graphic. Export slices your strip into individual PNGs at the exact size each store expects, and the vector frames stay crisp at any scale.
Start from 14 designed templates, then recolor the entire canvas with one of 9 themes like Aurora, Dusk, and Charcoal in a single click.
Color, weight, and underline down to a single word inside one text layer, so a product name or a number can stand out without splitting a headline into separate elements. Give any layer one of 16 blend modes so it reacts to what is behind it instead of sitting flat on top.
Safe-area guides mark the margin every store thumbnail crops into, and warnings flag text that overflows its screen or renders too small to read at listing scale. Multi-select align and distribute line up a whole screen's layers in one drag instead of nudging each one by eye.
The Short Version
Skicy is a native macOS app by Code Works OOD that turns raw app captures into finished store screenshots for the Apple App Store, Google Play, the Mac App Store, and the Microsoft Store. It frames each capture in a real device bezel, lays up to ten screens on one continuous background, exports pixel exact PNGs for every store preset, and publishes finished sets directly to App Store Connect and Google Play. It also ships a headless agent CLI so AI coding agents can compose and publish screenshots programmatically.
Skicy exports exact sized screenshots for the Apple App Store, Google Play, the Mac App Store, and the Microsoft Store, and publishes finished sets directly to App Store Connect and Google Play with one click or one CLI command.
Yes. Skicy ships a headless agent CLI (skicy agent) with
verbs for creating projects, attaching captures, editing the open .skicy
JSON format, rendering previews, exporting store sized PNGs, and publishing to App Store Connect and Google Play.
Every command prints JSON to stdout and exits non-zero on failure, so it slots into Claude Code,
other coding agents, and CI pipelines. Run skicy agent docs
for the complete bundled manual.
No. Skicy is a one time purchase with no subscription and no sign in. Projects save as portable
.skicy files that embed every image, and all rendering
happens locally on your Mac. There are no analytics and no tracking of any kind.
