5 layout approaches · Warm Craft theme · tap to explore
Home is a mosaic of your photos. The frame assignment is a secondary action. Feels like a personal gallery that happens to connect to a frame.
Feels like Apple Photos or Google Photos — users know how to navigate it immediately.
The content (photos) is the hero. Great for libraries with many images.
The physical frame — the whole point — is buried under a tab, not the first thing you see.
Floating "+" button competes with the grid. Upload vs. camera roll confusion likely.
Home shows your frames first. Each frame has a current photo preview. You navigate into a frame to add or manage photos for it. The frame is always the destination.
Every interaction starts with "which frame?" — keeps the physical gift front and center.
Navigate into a frame → add photos to it. Mirrors how users think about the product.
Your full photo library is a tab away. Users who want to browse all photos have to look for it.
Adding one photo to multiple frames requires navigating between frame detail screens.
The upload action IS the home screen. A big prominent upload button with recent activity below. The app communicates: the main thing you do here is put photos on frames.
First thing you see is "add a photo." The app's purpose is communicated before anything else.
Tapping the big button goes straight into crop → sticker → add to frame. No detours.
After the 10th upload, the big prompt feels redundant. No sense of the growing collection.
Managing existing content requires navigation rather than being surfaced on home.
Home is a chronological feed of what's happened — photos added, shares received, approvals needed. Upload lives as a persistent top button. Feels connected and social.
Shared photos that need approval appear inline in the feed — no hunting for a notification.
The home screen changes as photos are added and frames cycle. Gives the app a sense of activity.
Margaret opening the app sees a feed with notifications and actions. Might be overwhelming.
The core action (add a photo) competes with the feed content for attention.
Home is clean and spacious — one frame card prominently displayed with its current photo, a clear "Add Photo" action, and simple navigation. Maximum focus, minimum noise.
You see the frame's current photo AND the "Add Photo" button together. Purpose is immediate.
One frame: big featured card. Two+ frames: stacked cards, each with their own Add button.
The frame is the hero, the photo is the content, the action is obvious. No secondary navigation needed for the primary job.
The photo library strip is a hint, not a feature. Power users with large libraries need to go to the Library tab.
