About Be nice

Be nice is a lightweight Android launcher that opens apps directly in split screen mode.

Be nice helps when an app locks to portrait and you prefer to keep your device in landscape. It opens the selected app into a portrait pane while your tablet or foldable stays in a comfortable landscape view. This keeps multitasking steady, especially when you want two apps side by side. The layout is simple and focused so you can launch and get back to work quickly. For users who prefer small, privacy minded tools, Be nice APK provides a straightforward approach without extra clutter.


Be nice features

Direct split screen launches

Be nice opens an app straight into Android split screen. You tap an icon and the system places the app into one pane, ready to use. This avoids rotating the device when an app only supports portrait. It is a quick way to start multitasking without additional steps.

Landscape comfort on tablets and foldables

Many users keep large screens in landscape, especially on tablets and foldable devices. Be nice preserves that layout while showing a portrait app in a vertical pane. As a result, you can keep reading, browsing, or writing on the other side without changing orientation.

Home screen shortcuts for one tap

Be nice lets you create a shortcut that launches directly into split screen. Long press an app inside Be nice and choose Add link to place a shortcut on the home screen. From then on, one tap starts split screen with that app, which saves time during daily use.

Privacy friendly and open source

Be nice is open source and does not include ads, trackers, or paywalls. There are no in app purchases and nothing to unlock. The experience stays focused on launching apps without background data collection or on screen interruptions. Users who value simple tools can run it without account requirements.

Built on Android split screen behavior

Be nice works with the native multi window system provided by Android. The result depends on whether the target app supports split screen and how it behaves in that mode. Some apps may not resize well or may refuse to open in multi window. Setting expectations early helps you decide which workflows will work best.


When to use Be nice

Be nice fits common landscape workflows that include a portrait app. For example, keep a notes app on one side while opening a banking or reader app that prefers portrait on the other side. It can also help when chatting alongside documentation, viewing maps next to calendar entries, or keeping a reference page open while writing an email. The main advantage is staying in landscape while a portrait app displays comfortably in its own pane.


What to expect with different apps

Results vary from app to app because each one handles multi window differently. If an app supports split screen, it usually opens in a pane and resizes as expected. If not, it may deny the request or return to full screen after launch. In that case, try another app or adjust which app occupies the second pane to find a stable layout.


Quick tip for faster access

For frequent tasks, consider adding shortcuts for your most used apps. Inside Be nice, long press the app you often split and select Add link. The created home screen icon starts that app directly in split screen, which reduces taps each time you need the layout.


How to use Be nice on Android

This short guide outlines a basic way to launch apps into split screen with Be nice. It focuses on simple steps you can repeat daily with the Be nice latest version.

  1. Open Be nice and browse the app list so you can see the app you want to use.
  2. Tap the desired app. Android places it into one pane and shows the other pane ready for selection.
  3. Choose the second app for the other pane. The two apps now share the screen for side by side use.
  4. If you prefer landscape, keep the device in landscape and continue working in both panes.
  5. To add a shortcut, return to Be nice, long press an app, select Add link, then place the icon on your home screen.
