  FAMOS: FAstest eMOji Search



An [Alfred](https://alfredapp.com) workflow for emojis that supports

keyword-based search in [multiple languages](#famos-speaks-many-languages) and

[creating stickers](#cook-fresh-emojis-with-emoji-kitchen) with Google's

[Emoji Kitchen][4].

### Prerequisites and Installation

- Purchase [Alfred Power Pack](https://www.alfredapp.com/shop/).

- Head over to [downloads](#downloads) to get FAMOS for

  your desired language and emoji flavor.

- Open the downloaded file by double-clicking on it.

### FAMOS speaks many languages!

![](demo-images/multilingual.png)

FAMOS uses [emojibase][3], which is an excellent library, meticulously

curated. So, all the languages that [emojibase][3] supports, FAMOS automatically

does too.

### FAMOS is the fastest!

**10x** to **20x** faster compared to [alfred-emoji][1] and [EmojiTaco][2]!

FAMOS launches in under 20 miliseconds (imperceptible), while both

the other workflows take hundreds of milliseconds to launch (very

much perceptible).

The reason FAMOS exists is that I wanted my emoji picker to:

 - launch instantly

 - search with zero lag

 - let me pick skin-tones for each individual emoji

### Cook fresh emojis with Emoji Kitchen!

Google's [Emoji Kitchen][4] lets us combine two emojis:

![](demo-images/emoji-kitchen-google.png)

For many emojis, the Emoji Kitchen already has pre-cooked menu.

Here's how to access that in FAMOS:

1. Search for the emoji:

   ![](demo-images/emoji-kitchen-1.png)

2. Hold `option`:

   ![](demo-images/emoji-kitchen-2.png)

3. Pressing enter shows the pre-cooked menu:

   ![](demo-images/emoji-kitchen-3.png)

Wait, isn't the cutest panda a hugging panda?

When you don't find the combo you want in the pre-cooked menu,

it is time to cook something new!

1. Select `Cook Something New!` and press enter. A list of all emojis is shown:

   ![](demo-images/emoji-kitchen-4.png)

2. Type and select the desired emoji and press enter:

   ![](demo-images/emoji-kitchen-5.png)

3. Yayy! The hugging panda is ready!

   ![](demo-images/emoji-kitchen-6.png)

You can search through all the previously-accessed pre-cooked menus

and new stickers that you cooked yourself from the "Emoji Fridge" by

typing `emofridge`:

![](demo-images/emoji-fridge.png)

### Skin-tone prefs for each individual emoji

I like my emojis to reflect my skin-tone correctly. **And also hair color!**

That means, I might not always get both. So, I want hand-emojis to

have my skin-tone, but all face-emojis to have my hair-color

(and wrong skin-tone). In addition, if you're a stickler like me,

you will understand that I want one skin-tone for the palm and

a different one for the back of the hand. Back of the hand is a shade darker

than the palm, isn't it!

1. Search results show if an emoji has multiple tones available:

   ![](demo-images/skin-tone-1.png)

2. Hold command:

   ![](demo-images/skin-tone-2.png)

3. After pressing command+enter:

   ![](demo-images/skin-tone-3.png)

4. From now on, the chosen tone becomes the default tone for this emoji:

### Feature comparison

Both [alfred-emoji][1] and [EmojiTaco][2] are excellent workflows, and they

have tonnes of features that FAMOS doesn't have presently, and has no plans

of implementing. You should definitely check them out!
