Hi PH! 👋 I’m a developer, designer and writer and looking for the correct characters has always been a mess. The macOS character view is okay, but I still ended up googling the correct unicode characters. That’s why we made Glyphfinder. To make it the best glyph search out there we manually tagged 34.000 characters. You can search for words, categories, look-alikes or even colors – you can’t do it wrong. We put together a few good examples on the site. Aaand it’s available for macOS *and* Windows, how cool is that? 🤓 Let me know what you think! Hans

@hanspagel Congrats on the launch! This looks really good! Curious to know are both native apps or Electron?

@iamtekeste it’s Vue.js & Electron and we use a native library to read out the keyboard layout to show the correct keyboard shortcuts for characters ❤️

@hanspagel Awesome! I just bought it! If you are accepting feature requests, I was expecting clicking on a glyph to copy it to the clipboard. My favorite part is the look alike search! ❤️

Awesome, congrats on the launch! I'm using a special keyboard layout (https://eurkey.steffen.bruentjen...) will the App show shortcuts according to the active layout (I mean how would it know?!) or the default keyboard?

@thomas_aull Thanks Thomas! Yes! You might have seen Mouseless already, right? We invested a lot of time to get this right there and used the same technology in Glyphfinder. It should show the correct keyboard shortcut on Windows & macOS, if it’s available on your system & keyboard layout with the correct keys on your keyboard layout.

@hanspagel I haven't checked mouseless since I'm on Windows, but it's pretty awesome you pulled this off :)

Hi I've been waiting for such an application for a long time! Even at that low price it would be good to add a free trial period, even as short as 7 days. I'm a desktop developer and I use Windows fonts (Segoe MDL2 Assets) as much as possible. Would Glyphfinder be helpful in such a use case?

@julien_amsellem Yes, we didn’t want to invest too much time into implementing the trial, we added 30-days money back guarantee instead. Hope that helps most people to try things. The characters we show are part of the unicode set and may differ between different fonts. We didn’t implement something for the unique functionality of Segoe MDL2 Assets though, so I’m not sure if this helps for your specific use case. Feel free to try it, would be interested to hear your feedback! If you want a refund, send a short email to support@glyphfinder.com, I’ll issue a refund then.

In Google Docs there's a special character search where you draw the character you're thinking of with the mouse-- might be a nice addition for an alternate search method? I can think of a few times when I knew exactly what a glyph looked like but couldn't put it into words.

@gabe_taylor haven’t seen this one! we tagged characters with look-alikes, e. g. (c) finds ©. to be honest that feels even faster than drawing.

This looks great, especially for PC... I hate emojis on Windows. Does one license cover me for my Mac at work and PC at home, or would I need to choose "2 devices" from the buying options? FWIW, I never use the computers concurrently.

@alexcue thanks! Yes, that’s two devices so you’ll need the license for "2 devices". We check the license only once (on activation). We don’t check if someone else is currently using the same license. Hope that helps!

Great app. I like the design! Would be nice to have the option to display it in the macOS menu bar instead of letting it sit in the dock all the time.

Bought it, it looks great... :) I'm using it on windows. The setup and UI is just smooth. I'm primarily using it for emoji :) The first version of it is really good. I have a few suggestions for it. 1.) It would be great to add a small tab on top and have a separate tab for favorites. In that, we could save all our favorites and quickly access it. 2.) short user-guiding would be great, as of now, i don't know how to create a shortcut. 3.) finally, i wish emoji's stay at the top of the list.. :) as it's widely used even for social media related works. It's a neat app and i would use it.
