   - `app/static/images/apple-touch-icon.png` (180x180)
   - `app/static/images/android-chrome-192x192.png`
   - `app/static/images/android-chrome-512x512.png`

2. **Desktop Icons:**
   - `desktop/assets/icon.ico` (Windows - multi-resolution)
   - `desktop/assets/icon.icns` (macOS - multi-resolution)
   - `desktop/assets/icon.png` (Linux - 512x512)

3. **Social Media:**
   - `app/static/images/og-image.png` (1200x630px)

### Generation Steps

1. **Run the generation script:**
   ```bash
   npm install sharp  # If not installed
   node scripts/generate-icons.js
   ```
