Gloss
Intelligent Text Expansion
With the looming release of macOS 27 I am happy to announce a MAJOR update of Gloss which now includes on device AI integration and significant performance improvements. Gloss expands your shortcuts into text, emoji, dates, and scripts, everywhere on your Mac.
Top comment
If you use Slack, Discord and even Reddit, you're probably used to typing :thumbsup: or :sob: and having it just turn into the emoji. Then you switch to any other app on your Mac and that doesn't work anymore. You're back to Ctrl+Cmd+Space (or emoji button), scrolling through the emoji picker, searching, clicking. It's a tiny thing but it completely breaks your flow, especially when you do it dozens of times a day. That was the main itch for me. I wanted emoji short-codes everywhere on macOS, not just in apps that happen to support them. But once I started building that, I realised the same idea works for everything I repeatedly type. Email sign-offs, date strings in specific formats, code snippets, boilerplate responses.
