Dream. Make. Ship.
Build a better future. We're here to help.
Moto Mods™ snap onto any Moto Z phone, transforming it into an entirely new device, something no other smartphone can do. And, with our Moto Mods Development Kit, you can make your own Moto Mod. Aspiring startup? Established dev powerhouse? It doesn’t matter. We’re thrilled to provide the tools to help you redefine what a smartphone can do.
Many of you have been engaged with our crowdfunding campaign and hackathons, here are some highlights:
Soon we'll launch our Moto Mods Accelerator Program, the next phase of our crowdfunding campaign with IndieGogo, and an updated Moto Mods Developer Portal. Stay Tuned.
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.
