A tiny, keyboard-first emoji picker that stays out of your way. Search, hit Enter, then paste into any app.

Wayland intentionally blocks apps from typing into other windows. Mojify uses the secure path: copy to your clipboard, then let you paste exactly where you choose.
Input injection tools fight the desktop security model and can fail across Wayland apps.
× Blocked on WaylandMojify copies your choice with wl-copy. You stay in control of where it goes.
Small tool, sharp edges
Built to feel native, launch quickly, and disappear the second the job is done.
Find emoji by name or everyday keywords like fire, party, or rocket. Results update as you type.
Your most-used emoji stay one tab away, saved locally in your XDG state directory.
Open, search, navigate with arrows, press Enter to copy—or Escape to vanish.
Built with GTK3, already present on Ubuntu GNOME. No Electron shell and no heavy runtime.
Optionally add Mojify to the GNOME app grid and dock with one built-in command.
Your new muscle memory
Bind mojify to any GNOME custom shortcut you like.
Search by emoji name or a natural keyword. No category hunting required.
The picker closes instantly and your emoji is ready for any app.
