EmoShelf v1.2.0 (unsigned)
EmoShelf v1.2.0
Emoji are now easier to see, and your shelf is easier to arrange.
What's new
- Emoji size: choose Small, Medium, or Large in Settings → Emoji size. The default is Medium,
which is larger than before. Small matches the v1.1.0 layout. The setting applies to your shelves, the All list,
and the first-run emoji picker. - Press and hold to reorder: on your own shelves, press and hold an emoji for a moment, then drag it to a new
spot. A normal click still pastes right away. Keyboard reordering and removal remain in Edit shelf.

These are the same packs as v1.1.0. Packs you already installed keep working after the update.
To add one, open Settings → Additional emoji styles → Install pack, choose the file, then pick the style in
Settings → Emoji appearance. Emoji that a style does not cover fall back to Twemoji.
Updating
Updates are manual. Export a backup from Settings, then install the new version over the existing one.
Upgrading from v1.0.0 or v1.1.0 keeps your shelf data. Existing installs switch to the new Medium size; choose Small
in Settings to keep the previous look.
Known boundaries
- EmoShelf is Windows 11 only. Cloud sync, accounts, and social features are out of scope.
- Style pack artwork remains subject to its own license and attribution, shown in Settings.
Every installer was installed and uninstalled in CI before this release was created. The x64 installers passed the full
desktop test suite, including installing, rendering, and removing all three style packs; the ARM64 installers were checked
to launch and render the shelf.
EmoShelf v1.1.0 (unsigned)
EmoShelf v1.1.0
EmoShelf now supports three more emoji styles: Fluent, Noto, and OpenMoji.
They ship as separately signed style packs, so the app stays small and you install only the styles you want.

- Install EmoShelf v1.1.0 or later. v1.0.0 cannot install packs.
- Download the packs you want from this page.
- Open Settings → Additional emoji styles → Install pack and choose the file.
- Pick the style in Settings → Emoji appearance.
Each pack is built from a pinned commit of the official artwork and signed with an EmoShelf key. The app checks the signature,
every file's hash, and the SVG content before installing, and again when it loads the pack. Emoji that a style does not cover
fall back to Twemoji. The style changes what you see in EmoShelf; pasted text still uses the receiving app's emoji font.
Other changes
- Settings links to the official release page for style packs.
Updating
Updates are manual. Export a backup from Settings, then install the new version over the existing one.
Upgrading from v1.0.0 keeps your shelf data.

Highlights
- Reach personal Boards instantly with the global shortcut (Alt + E).
- Search 1,949 emoji in English or Japanese.
- Paste one item, compose a sequence, or keep EmoShelf pinned.
- Use bundled Twemoji or OS-native emoji.
- Import custom PNG, WebP, and safely normalized SVG assets.
- Export and restore
.emoshelfbackups with preview, merge, and replace protection. - Map Boards to an application without storing full executable paths or window titles.
- Keyboard navigation, visible focus, Reduced Motion, and high-contrast support.
- Japanese and English UI. No account, no cloud sync, no analytics — your shelf stays on your PC.
Changes since RC 1
- Alt+E always brings the shelf forward from hidden, background, or minimized states; Escape/close dismiss it.
- Verified target focus before pasting, with an explicit copy fallback when direct input is not possible.
- Pinned keeps the shelf open while returning focus to your app.
- Permanent leftmost All tab with search/category reset that leaves your personal Boards unchanged.
- Centered OS-native emoji and clear labels for unavailable style packs.
- Serialized, flushed saves; quitting waits for persistence.
- Render recovery screen, catalog retry, accessible contrast and localized labels.
- Settings Escape no longer also hides the shelf; manual updates link directly to official releases.
Updating
Updates are manual. Export a backup from Settings, then install the new version over the existing one.
Upgrading from RC 1 keeps your shelf data. Existing schema-v1 data is migrated once to schema v2.
Known boundaries
- Additional emoji styles (Fluent, Noto, OpenMoji) are planned as separately signed packs and are not included yet.
- Changing the emoji style changes EmoShelf previews; pasted Unicode uses the receiving app's font.
- EmoShelf is Windows 11 only. Cloud sync, accounts, and social features are out of scope.
- Renderer artwork remains subject to its own license and attribution.
