Do you hate pressing the cheap plastic physical Home button on some smartphones or tablets? Is the area uncomfortable to access? Is the button starting to malfunction, or is it wearing out?

Use HomeSoftly. It places a Home shortcut in the Android notification drawer. Tap this notification from any app or task, and instantly get to the Home screen. Just like using the physical Home button!

Very light on resources: HomeSoftly simply adds the Home shortcut in the Android notification drawer, and instantly closes. It doesn't run in the background, so it doesn't use precious memory, battery or resources.

Automatically available: You don't have to remember to relaunch HomeSoftly every time you restart or turn on your smartphone or tablet. HomeSoftly automatically places the Home shortcut notification on startup.

Tiny and minimalist: HomeSoftly is a tiny 24 KB app, and it employs an almost zero interface. The only visible part is the Home shortcut in the notification drawer. No dialogs, no settings, and no reinventing the wheel.

Easy to remove: You can easily uninstall HomeSoftly. Or just uncheck the “Show Notifications” option in Android Settings -> Apps -> HomeSoftly to keep it installed, but remove the Home shortcut notification.
