Why it exists
The macOS character viewer works, but it feels slow when you already know what you want. QuickEmoji puts search behind one shortcut and gets out of the way.
What it does
Search by name or shortcode for emoji, arrows, mathematical symbols, punctuation, and other Unicode characters. Recent choices stay on your Mac, and results adapt to the app you are using.
How it works
Press Command-Shift-E, type, and press Enter. QuickEmoji inserts the selected character into the active app and closes. It needs macOS Accessibility permission for the global shortcut and insertion; it has no account or cloud sync.
