I have been unhappy with the UI of Apple’s emoji selector on macOS for a long time, so in a moment of inspiration I built my own!

Introducing QuackQuack!, the emoji selector that lives in your menubar!

The concept is extremely simple: You click the duck in your menubar which exposes a small window with emoji options. Select the emoji you want and it gets copied to your mac’s clipboard for pasting wherever you wish. QuackQuack is small utility application that does this one thing and it does it very well.

You can download QuackQuack for macOS here, then run the installer and move the program to your applications folder.

Special thanks to my amazing partner Christine for naming the app and to the ever-present duck boats in the city of Boston for inspiring the QuackQuack name!
