Find and paste any emoji without leaving your keyboard

Trigger the picker with a shortcut, arrow-key to the emoji you want, hit Enter - it's pasted. That's the whole flow.

Requires macOS 13 Ventura or later ยท Apple Silicon & Intel

Every OS has an emoji picker, but most are slow - a menu to click through, a mouse required, no memory of what you just used. Synapse's Emoji Picker is built for keyboard-first speed: trigger it with your own shortcut, navigate with arrow keys, and hit Enter to paste directly into whatever you're typing. Recently used emojis are cached, so your most common picks are always one keystroke away.

Full keyboard navigation

Move through categories and emojis with arrow keys - no mouse required.

Enter to paste directly

Hit Enter and the selected emoji is typed directly where your cursor is - no extra copy step.

Recent emoji cache

Your most-used emojis are cached and surfaced first, so repeat picks are instant.
