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.

- 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.
