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.

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

Finally I found this app that simply does what I needed. The only among a lot others I have tried that easily can define assistant button for using system screenshots. Thank you very much!! Update: still a very good app, but now it behaves a little more erratical when trying to capture long screenshots in Android 12. I tried reinstalling it, but the problem is still showing.

Very useful app, I've used it a lot on my Xiaomi Mi 9 and it worked perfetcly. Now I am on a custom ROM based on Android 10 and the app doesn't respond to the button. It's like it doesn't recognize that it has been made default digital assistant. Any idea why this is? Edit: Tried reinstalling, disabling the Google Assistant entirely and rebooting. Once rebooted the default assistant was reset to Google Assistant. Still no luck
