Shortmoji 1.0.0 — Emoji shortcodes across your Mac

Emoji shortcodes, across your Mac

Shortmoji brings Discord-style :shortcode: replacement to macOS text fields. Type :sku to find 💀 and related emoji, or finish :skull: to insert it immediately.

Included

• Compact suggestions near the caret, with keyboard navigation and Return/Tab insertion.
• A “See similar” grid with search by emoji name, alias, and related keyword.
• Native AppKit interface and menu-bar controls.
• Local processing with no server or account requirement.
• Click-handling fixes for navigation controls and emoji selection.

Install

Download Shortmoji-1.0.0-arm64.dmg, open it, and drag Shortmoji to Applications. Launch the app and grant Accessibility access when prompted.

Requires Apple Silicon and macOS 14 or later. This build is locally signed, not Apple-notarized. If macOS blocks it, and you trust this download, review the notice in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.

The catalog is curated. Compatibility varies with the destination app; secure text fields may not support replacement.

Validation

Seven automated tests pass, including native button hit targets, grid navigation actions, and search-result insertion. The app signature and DMG integrity were verified. SHA256SUMS.txt is included alongside the installer.
