Every distraction can become progress. NicelyPut locks distracting apps and lets you unlock them with a micro language challenge tailored to your goals. So every impulsive tap turns into a tiny, real-life language win. # WHAT YOU’LL LEARN NicelyPut focuses on real-life language you can actually use: - Natural phrasing instead of textbook sentences - Everyday expressions you’d say in real conversations - Quick recall practice that improves fluency - Repetition spaced across your day The goal isn’t to “complete lessons.” It’s to teach you the vocabulary so you can sound natural and confident when you speak. # HOW IT WORKS - Choose the apps that pull you into mindless scrolling and block them. When you try to open one, NicelyPut shows a very short challenge built around natural phrasing. Complete it to unlock and continue your apps for a set amount of time. After the allowed screen time is over, NicelyPut blocks the apps again and you need to complete a new language challenge. - Stay in control and decide about the rules for your challenges. Set the number of required questions, the available time to complete them and the screen time to earn. - NicelyPut uses your experience level and areas you want to improve to serve you customized challenges. Every time you complete a challenge your skills are dynamically re-evaluated and your difficulty level is adjusted so you constantly make progress. - Do daily exercises to earn credits that you can use to skip questions during your unlock challenges. If you want guardrails that build a skill and not just another blocker, NicelyPut is for you. # FEATURES - Select the language you want to improve - Block apps using the phone’s family control settings - Define your challenge rules - Complete language challenges to earn screen time - Complete daily exercises to improve your language skills and earn credits - Use credits to skip questions during language unblock challenges - Stay motivated with levels, streaks, daily goals, rewards and reminders to exercise daily - See your daily stats # LANGUAGES NicelyPut currently supports German and English. # TECH NicelyPut uses Apple’s Screen Time API to block and unblock apps. Unlike other apps, we value privacy. NicelyPut doesn’t know which apps you have installed or block and your data doesn’t leave your device. Everything works on your device and offline. # SUBSCRIPTION & PURCHASE To use the app, a paid plan is required (subscription or one-time purchase). A free trial is available. NicelyPut offers: - Premium yearly, a yearly subscription plan - Premium monthly, a monthly subscription plan - Lifetime Premium, a one-time purchase Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account after the trial ends Subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period You can manage and cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings # LEGAL Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://nicelyput.xyz/privacy-policy
