How to use app design inspiration

Apps ask more of design than a site does. People use them again and again, so clarity and speed matter. Study onboarding, home screens, settings and empty states from products in your field, then decide what suits your users.

On DesignPorn you can search app design in plain words, or upload a screenshot to find designs like it. Open any item to see its palette with share, its heading and body fonts, and its spacing base unit. Save the best to a board and send it to a client by private link. Every item has a source link and a credit to its author. Next, look at mobile app design inspiration.
