A simple browser extension to copy, build, and save your own custom text emojis.
- Browse & copy ready-made textmojis filtered by mood (happy, angry, dance).
- Toolbox editor to build your own textmoji from eyes, mouths, and arms.
- Save custom textmojis — they persist across sessions via
chrome.storage.local. - CUSTOM filter lists everything you've saved. Right-click any saved textmoji to delete it.

chrome://extensions/in your browser's address bar. - In the top right corner, enable Developer mode by toggling the switch.
- Click the "Load unpacked" button.
