Type to search for any emoji, symbol, or gif in seconds

Autocomplete :emoji: everywhere on macOS. Type a colon and search any emoji, symbol, or shortcode in seconds — in TextEdit, iMessage, Terminal, anywhere. Slack and a few other apps have this — type :heart: and you get ❤️. It makes finding emoji easy. I wanted it everywhere on my Mac, so I built Mojito. It works just like you'd expect, and it's smart enough to ignore apps and sites that already support it. And it's free, open-source donationware.

I originally tried to build this app 11 years ago. Back then, I thought "this is such an obvious idea... if I don't make it, someone else surely will."
Welp.
Looking back at old projects, I decided that this is one I really wanted to pick up. So I built it.
I added a fun little easter egg—if you type :mojito:, a little animation plays. And then I added another... and another.... so now there are about 30 easter eggs for you to find. They range from simple to incredibly elaborate.
I hope you find this app as useful as I do, and have as much fun with it as I had making it.
minimalist phone: reduce your screentime
Does it complete emojis only within the Mac system apps, or in general, also in the browser, websites, social media etc.?

Looks nice - what about GIFs? You mentioned them in the description, and I didn't see anything specifically about it

@sk_uxpin update and try now. type 3 colons to open the gif search.
@wellsriley ha, very nice, cheers, I'll give it a shot :)
Cool idea but how do I attach GIFs? For example, if I want to add the famous 'Michael Jackson eating popcorn' GIF, what should I type?

@archanaa11 type 3 colons to open the gif search.
@wellsriley Thanks, Wells. 😁 I'll try it. Good luck with Mojito.
The symbol search part is what gets me finding the right arrow or math symbol without copying from Wikipedia is painful. Does it work system-wide in any app or only specific ones?
Mojito
@imad_elkhafi system-wide. You can exclude specific apps though if you want.
@wellsriley System-wide is the right call the ability to exclude specific apps is a nice touch too. Installing this.
Super clean execution. Does it support fuzzy search for emojis too?
Mojito
@nithin_raju1 yes!
Mojito supports common alts for emoji
Supports near-matches/typos gracefully
It ranks your frequently-used emoji higher in search—so if you use :pouch: (👝) a lot, it'll rank higher than 💩 over time.
Mojito is localized into 18 languages... both the UI and the emoji search (eg: in French, you can search :heart: or :cœur: to find ❤️)

@mynameisyu no more than you normally do 🙂
