Description
Be nice is a modern Android launcher built with Jetpack Compose.
It started as a tool to launch apps in split-screen mode to avoid forced rotation on tablets and foldables, and has evolved into a full-featured home screen replacement.
Key features
- Modern design: Built entirely with Jetpack Compose and Material 3 Expressive for a smooth and responsive experience. - App pairs and split-screen: Create app pairs to launch two apps side by side for multitasking and to avoid unwanted rotation. Works on phones, tablets, and foldables when the system allows split-screen. - Folders: Organize your apps into groups to find them easier and faster. - Hidden items: Optionally hide any apps; they move into a dedicated Hidden items folder that you can manage from Settings. - Widgets: Add up to two widgets to the Favorites and widgets page for at-a-glance information. - Large-screen layout: On large-screen devices, the Favorites and widgets page uses a two-pane layout where the right pane can host additional widgets. - Configurable dock: Customize the dock on the Favorites and widgets page to launch the phone, messages, browser, or your favorite apps with a single tap.
Whether you need a full replacement for your home screen or just a better way to multitask, Be nice adapts to you.
Recent changes: - Choose a favorites and widgets background: none, solid color, or your own image - Pick a solid background color, or use the theme default - Set a photo as the background behind favorites and widgets - Clear the background image from Settings - Improved layout on large screens and ChromeOS - Fixed a crash on ChromeOS

Big must have! I've been looking for a split screen app forever that is simple and smooth to navigate. I use this all the time. It's super easy to access and there's barely any lag I've noticed when working between apps

Wish I could give 10*! Since Android 15 just finally got app pairs on the default Pixel launcher, I want to thank the developer for giving them to us many months ago and still works for those of us that use a different launcher. Works perfectly on my original Pixel Fold using the Octopi launcher (which is still in beta). Thank you! Edited to respond to developer: Still extremely helpful to those of us not using the default Pixel Launcher. I wouldn't have app pairs but for your app! Thank you!!

Does exactly what it says. I use it for split app shortcuts on my older phone

Amazing app. Just auto refresh installed app need to be stopped. By adding one refresh button in right-hand corner can be solved app long loading problem. For pair shortcut, u can create another tab to keep history. Also by sorting by name and created date (or even search) will be better. Also, another app "Max Screen Splitter" can create multiple same pair screen for some simple app which become clone or duplicate app which is very useful. Pls check with other developer how he can do that.

Excited to pair email or messages with Calendar but Calendar does not work with Be Nice. Shame.

I like the simplicity, but it's just not opening the apps split screen on my Motorola Android 12 phone from the shortcuts in the app or the shortcuts in the launcher. It just opens the first apps and then opens the second app. I've even tried using the maximum delay.

Response so Developer.: Yes, I use Split Screen pretty often on the Honor 70. But your simpler "single icon" method would have been simpler. Original Review: Nice idea. I sometimes use Split Screen on my phone and a simpler method appeals to me. Sadly, Be Nice doesn't work correctly on my phone (Honor 70, Android 13 with Magics 7.1). I've tried several apps. They are opened normally (not split screen). Never mind, a well presented and easy to use app, just not for my phone. Nice try!
