Be nice

Be nice is a launcher application developed by Thomas Künneth, packaged as a single Android APK of version 2.3 weighing in at 5.16 MB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

1. Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
2. File size is a light 5.16 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
3. This build is signed by "Thomas Künneth" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
4. After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
5. We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

• 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.

Is Be nice free to download?
Yes. The APK file linked from this page is free. The developer may offer in-app purchases once installed, but obtaining the installer itself costs nothing.

What Android version does Be nice require?
Android 4.1+ or newer. Installing on older devices may cause crashes or refuse to install.

Is Be nice safe to install?
We link to the exact APK published by Thomas Künneth. We do not modify the file. Still, as with any sideloaded app, scan it with a reputable antivirus before opening it, and only grant permissions the app genuinely needs.

How do I update Be nice?
Install the newer version on top of the old one — Android will keep your data. If the signature differs, uninstall first (you may lose local progress).

Why is the app not installing?
Common causes: not enough storage, an older Android version than 4.1+, or a conflicting build already installed. Free up space, check your OS version, and uninstall any previous copy before retrying.

1. Tap the Download APK button above and save the file to your device.
2. Open your device Settings → Security (or Apps → Special access → Install unknown apps) and allow your file manager or browser to install unknown apps for this one file only.
3. Open the downloaded de.thomaskuenneth.benice.apk file from your Downloads folder.
4. Tap Install and wait for Android to finish.
5. Open «Be nice» by Thomas Künneth and grant only the permissions it actually needs.
6. Revoke the "unknown sources" permission once you are done installing.
