Emojify: A fast, native GTK4/C++ emoji picker

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a project I’ve been working on called Emojify—a lightweight, emoji picker meant to be useful.

While there are plenty of Python or Electron-based tools out there, I wanted something that felt instant. Because it's built with C++, gtkmm-4.0, and libadwaita, it’s incredibly snappy, keeps a low memory footprint, and just works.

Installation

Emojify is available as a Flatpak, AppImage, or as a binary for Arch Linux users.

You can install it via AUR at emojify-bin with your preferred manager:

# Using yay
yay -S emojify-bin

# Or if you prefer paru
paru -S emojify-bin

Learn More

Check out the Emojify GitHub page for more information, or to contribute!

Any suggestions for features, or just simple feedback on the app is appreciated.

Emojify: A fast, native GTK4/C++ emoji picker (with an extension for auto-pasting)

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a project I’ve been working on called Emojify — a lightweight, native emoji picker designed specifically to look and feel right at home on the GNOME desktop.

While there are plenty of Python or Electron-based tools out there, I wanted something that felt instant. Because it's built with C++, gtkmm-4.0, and libadwaita, it’s incredibly snappy, keeps a low memory footprint, and just works.

Installation

Emojify is available as a Flatpak, AppImage, or as a binary for Arch Linux users.
You can grab the Flatpak right now via Flathub:

flatpak install flathub xyz.riothedev.emojify
