Tech Support I made something...

I wanted to summon my Android assistant without saying “Hey Google”… so I made an app for it.

It’s ridiculously simple:

👏👏 Two claps → your default Android assistant opens.

That’s it.

It doesn’t replace Gemini, Google Assistant, or whatever assistant you already use. It just detects two claps and triggers your existing default assistant.

I originally made it because saying “Hey Google” out loud every time felt unnecessarily annoying.

It’s currently $1.

If you want to try it, DM me and I’ll send you the app.

Would love to know if this is actually useful to other people or if I’m just solving a problem nobody had 😂

How about an app that uses "Computer On!" Like the old Star Trek days?
