Made with care since 2010
Gemoji is not a new app. It first launched on the App Store in February 2010 as SMS Smileys. Back then, the emoji keyboard was hidden on iPhones outside Japan, and SMS Smileys unlocked it.
Over the years the app grew with emoji art, fancy fonts and stickers, and reached #1 in the paid charts in several countries. In 2025 it was rebuilt from the ground up as Gemoji, with its own Emoji AI and a free download. It is still developed by the same independent studio in Graz, Austria, and gets new features every few weeks.
