HomeBot

HomeBot is an Android utility for changing what happens when the home button is long-pressed. Instead of leaving that gesture tied to its default behavior, the app lets the user assign another action through Android’s assistant-style home-button shortcut mechanism. Its purpose is narrow: it focuses on remapping a single system gesture rather than providing a broad automation environment.

The application is useful on devices where the long-press home action is available and can be assigned to another handler. Its behavior depends on Android platform support and device configuration, so it is specifically an Android tool rather than a cross-platform shortcut manager.
