Gloss
Type Less. Say More
Type a trigger. Watch it expand. A native macOS app that turns short keywords into full 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. Gloss is a native macOS text expander. You type a short trigger (like :skull: or //date) and it instantly replaces it with whatever you've configured. Plain text, emoji, dynamic values like the current date or clipboard contents, or even small JavaScript. It ships with a bundled emoji short-codes pack so you get the Slack/Discord-style :name: behaviour system-wide, right out of the box. It sits in your menu bar, uses barely any resources, and doesn't phone home.

Who hunted Gloss?
Gloss was hunted by Josh M. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
