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.
