  FAMOS: FAstest eMOji Search
</h1>

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!
![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mr-pennyworth/alfred-fastest-emoji/main/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:

For many emojis, the Emoji Kitchen already has pre-cooked menu.
Here's how to access that in FAMOS:
1. Search for the emoji:

2. Hold `option`:
   ![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mr-pennyworth/alfred-fastest-emoji/main/demo-images/emoji-kitchen-2.png)
3. Pressing enter shows the pre-cooked menu:
   ![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mr-pennyworth/alfred-fastest-emoji/main/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:
   ![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mr-pennyworth/alfred-fastest-emoji/main/demo-images/emoji-kitchen-4.png)
2. Type and select the desired emoji and press enter:
   ![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mr-pennyworth/alfred-fastest-emoji/main/demo-images/emoji-kitchen-5.png)
3. Yayy! The hugging panda is ready!
   ![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mr-pennyworth/alfred-fastest-emoji/main/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`:

### 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:
   ![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mr-pennyworth/alfred-fastest-emoji/main/demo-images/skin-tone-1.png)
2. Hold command:
   ![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mr-pennyworth/alfred-fastest-emoji/main/demo-images/skin-tone-2.png)
3. After pressing command+enter:
   ![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mr-pennyworth/alfred-fastest-emoji/main/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!
