About this app

Some devices have a hardware button for calling assistant. However, these buttons are not compatible with this app. This is because these vendors call a specific assistant instead of the default assistant. Long holding the home button will still work.

With Assistant Shortcuts, it's possible to adjust your assistant button on your phone to a command without root!. You can, for example, view your notifications by calling your assistant.

This app makes it easy for people with disabilities to perform actions without reaching the top of the screen.

• Switch to last used app
• Put phone to sleep*
• Press back button
• Open recents screen
• Go to home button
• Toggle between split-screen mode (Android N+ required)

The app is not working
some manufacturers ship their phones with a heavy modified version of Android. I cannot guarantee the working of the app on those devices.

Ratings and reviews

This app is so useful, making full use of the device assistance button. Also has decent UI design which I love a lot. | Just found one issue: the screenshot contains the white circle at the postion of home button (brought by the animation), delay before screenshot won't solve this issue, hope the developer has better idea to get avoid of it

this is a great idea and almost what I need. only problem is that I can't set an app action. I needed this to open the floating apps sidebar but it can only open the app directly. I know it's possible cuz other apps can trigger it but this is the only one that sets it to replace the pointless assistant app. so, please make this happen. I would really appreciate it. thank you.

Hello, I have the same problem as reported by LG users, but with Motorola One Fusion Plus (Though I have installed the app and set it up as the default assistant, pressing the assistant button is giving me the same message that Google is not my default assistant). Looking for a solution to be found to be able to remap this button. Best of luck!
