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.
Move through categories and emojis with arrow keys - no mouse required.
Hit Enter and the selected emoji is typed directly where your cursor is - no extra copy step.
Your most-used emojis are cached and surfaced first, so repeat picks are instant.
Trigger the picker from anywhere with a keyboard shortcut you choose.
Browse emojis by category with a clean, fast-scrolling layout.
Don't use it? Turn Emoji Picker off in Settings and Synapse frees the resources it was using.

Trigger it from any app with your shortcut.
