Comoji vs Mojito
Mojito is a newer, free Mac app in the same space as Comoji, a menu bar emoji picker with Slack-style colon :emoji: autocomplete. If you’re weighing the two, the honest summary is that they overlap on the core idea: type a colon token, get a popover, insert an emoji without reaching for the mouse.
The differences come down to scope and depth. Comoji leans into Messages specifically, with a /sticker and /gif picker on top of emoji, plus a custom trigger key, per-app and per-site disable lists, and a searchable full-set browser. Both are free and run locally.
