Features & Capabilities

Home Button is an innovative Chrome extension designed to replace a broken or inaccessible physical home button. It features an on-screen assistive button with customizable colors and sizes, enhancing usability for users who face difficulties with hardware buttons.

The extension supports various customizable press and long-press actions such as Back, Home, Recents, Lock Screen, Wi-Fi toggle, Power menu, Split screen, Camera launch, and more. Users can customize vibration feedback and the button's visibility when the keyboard appears.

User Reviews

Users praise the app for easy setup, usefulness on devices without a reliable hardware home button, and customizable tap area to trigger actions. It’s a helpful workaround when gestures are disabled by ROMs. But many reviews complain about heavy ads with no ad-free option, crashes/instability, unreliable long-press blocking, background persistence problems, and device/launcher compatibility limitations.
Pros
  • Easy to set up and manage.
  • Useful on devices with no reliable hardware home button; reduces wear.
  • Customizable actions/area near the home button to map to other features.
  • Serves as a workaround when OS/ROM disables gestures to preserve navigation.
  • Generally simple and effective.
Cons
  • Excessive ads and no ad-free paid option.
  • Crashes and unstable behavior; sometimes does not launch properly.
  • Not reliably blocking long-press action (Google Assistant can still open).
  • Does not stay running in the background; stops when cleared from recents.
  • Limited gesture options and compatibility issues with some devices/launchers.
