Dream. Make. Ship.
Build your Moto Z's better half
Moto Mods™ snap onto any Moto Z phone and gives them a whole new superpower, transforming them into devices that do things other phones can’t. And, with our platform, you can make them. Aspiring startup? Established dev powerhouse? It doesn’t matter. We’re thrilled to provide the tools to help you redefine just what a smartphone can do.
Make anything.
Moto Z phones are designed to be compatible with any Moto Mod you create and certify through Motorola. The possibilities are practically limitless, from infrared cameras, e-ink displays, game controllers and printers to metal detectors, inventory tag readers, blood pressure monitors and even air pollution sensors.
Get started
To get started, you'll need to purchase any Moto Z phone and a Moto Mod Development Kit. The kit, which snaps onto the back of your Moto Z, has been designed to make it easy for you to add the custom electronics and software that support your Moto Mod concept.
If you follow our developer guidelines, you can be confident that your Moto Mod will also work with any Moto Z device going forward.
