Be nice - a tiny app launcher

Thomas Künneth

About this app

Be nice is a tiny app launcher. Its sole purpose is to launch apps in split-screen mode. This is more than convenient if an app forces the device into portrait mode. While portrait mode is the preferred orientation on smartphones, tablets and foldables are often used in landscape mode. Instead of rotating your device just to be able to use an app, launch it using Be nice.

Even if an app does not lock the device into portrait mode, its user interface might not look great in landscape. Here, Be nice comes in handy, too. Just launch that app with Be nice, and enjoy a portrait orientation while in landscape mode.

To launch an app in split-screen mode from your home screen, tap and hold the app inside Be nice, and select Add link. This will create a shortcut to the app on your home screen.

Be nice is friendly:
- No in-app purchases
- No ads
- No need to unlock anything
- We respect your privacy
- Completely open source

Ratings and reviews

This is the best app I've been looking for, just that it refuses to work on my luncher, i am using windows 11 luncher, but when i switched to default launcher, it works well, i can't sacrifice the launcher for this, please work on it and let it work on every luncher, I'm on Android 14. I can mail you any information you need.

simple, straight to the point, no ads! simply perfect. and does it's job

I love this little app. As a die hard Nova launcher and custom ROM user I really appreciate the ability to have my phone work the way I want and this is one of those functions I've been craving for ages. So good, thank you so much for your work👍 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
