MotoKey Plus Remaps Motorola's AI Key Into a Custom Shortcut

An unofficial sideload-only app lets Motorola owners turn the dedicated AI key into a customizable button with single, double, and hold actions.

Motorola phones ship with a dedicated AI key, but an unofficial app called MotoKey Plus lets owners turn that button into a general-purpose shortcut. The app, first reported by Android Authority, assigns separate actions to a single press, a double press, and a press-and-hold.

Available actions include the flashlight, screenshots, media controls, notifications, Quick Settings, and Gemini. According to the developer, MotoKey Plus uses hardware-level routing to suppress Motorola's built-in key behavior and avoid conflicts between the two.

Timing is adjustable: double-tap detection can be set between 250ms and 500ms, while the hold threshold ranges from 300ms to 800ms. That gives users some control over how responsive the remapped key feels.

The app is currently sideload-only and is not open source. The developer says a Google Play release is planned within a month. Version numbers differ across channels — GitHub lists v1.1.1, while the project's Telegram channel has moved on to v1.1.7.

Users report the app working on the Edge 60 Pro, Edge 70 Pro, and Razr Ultra 2025. Some also report inconsistent behavior when a mute action is assigned, so that particular mapping may not be reliable yet.
