Be nice

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. Long-press a widget slot to pick, replace or remove a widget. - Swipe down: On the Favorites and widgets page (and additional widget pages on phones), swipe down to open an app you choose in Settings. - 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. Long-press a dock icon to change the app, clear the slot, or open settings. - Grouped apps and custom labels: Group multi-launcher apps into one entry in Settings. Tap to pick an activity; long-press for app info, uninstall, favorites, and custom names. Favorite whole apps or individual activities independently. Whether you need a full replacement for your home screen or just a better way to multitask, Be nice adapts to you.
