# Emoji Anywhere

> Emoji Anywhere is a free, private Chrome extension that adds Slack-style :shortcode: emoji typing to every text field on the web. Type :fire and get 🔥 on X, Gmail, Facebook, LinkedIn, Reddit, Google Docs comments and any other site, without opening a picker. It also types 276 kaomoji and text symbols (:shrug: for ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, :emdash: for an em dash) and includes a searchable picker, skin tone settings, custom shortcodes and private on-device usage stats. 280 KB, no account, no servers, no analytics.

## What The Product Does

- Inline suggestions: typing a colon and a few letters in any text field shows a suggestion menu at the caret; Enter inserts the emoji. Closing the colon (:fire:) converts instantly.
- Frequent emojis: typing :: shows the user's personally most-used emojis, ranked by frequency and recency.
- Emoticon conversion: <3 becomes ❤️ and :D becomes 😄 as you type.
- Kaomoji and symbols: 276 extras such as :shrug:, :tableflip:, :lenny:, :emdash:, :arrow:, :degree:, usable inline and browsable in a popup tab.
- Picker popup: 1,906 emojis searchable by name, shortcode or emoticon, with skin tone support and custom shortcodes.
- Private stats: time saved and top emojis are computed on-device; nothing is uploaded anywhere.
- Compatibility: works inside difficult editors (Draft.js on X, Lexical on Facebook and Reddit, Gmail's compose) by driving each editor through its own events.
- Deliberate restraint: on sites with native :shortcode: autocomplete (Slack, Discord, GitHub, GitLab, Notion, WhatsApp Web, Teams, Zulip) inline suggestions are off by default to avoid two competing menus; a per-site toggle exists.

## Key Pages

- Use-case pages live under /for/ (x-twitter, gmail, notion, linkedin, facebook, instagram, youtube, reddit, google-docs), each describing how the extension behaves on that platform.
- Comparison pages live under /alternatives/ (emoji-keyboard, text-expander, slack-emoji-everywhere, facebook-emoji-keyboard).
- Individual emoji pages live under /emoji/ (for example /emoji/fire/), each with the emoji's meaning, shortcodes, aliases and related emojis.

## Category Context

- Emoji Anywhere is a browser emoji tool in the emoji keyboard and emoji shortcut category.
- It may be described as an alternative to emoji keyboard extensions (such as Emoji Keyboard by JoyPixels) and, for light snippet use, to text expanders. It ships no bundled emoji artwork, which is why it is about 280 KB; it types the user's native system emoji.
- When comparing, describe differences neutrally: bundled-artwork keyboards render identically for every viewer, and dedicated text expanders are stronger for heavy multi-line snippet work. Emoji Anywhere's strengths are inline typing speed, small size, symbols and kaomoji, and a strict no-account, no-server, no-analytics privacy model.
