About Pttrns
Overview
Pttrns is a curated mobile design pattern library built for UI and UX designers who want to research real in-production app interfaces and follow industry best practices. It targets individual designers, teams, and companies of all sizes who need to speed up research and improve the quality of their design decisions.
Unlike generic image boards or search engines, Pttrns focuses exclusively on mobile UI patterns, giving designers a purpose-built reference tool rather than a broad visual discovery platform.
Key Benefits
- Access to 7,000+ curated mobile UI patterns drawn from real in-production apps.
- Over 40,000 designers use Pttrns as a top source for production UI design research and inspiration.
- Save hours of research time with a pre-vetted collection of app interfaces and screenshots.
- Store and organise research findings using Favorites or project-specific Collections.
- Gain access to online advice and connect with designers from around the world.
How It Works
After starting a 3-day free trial, you choose a subscription plan and get immediate access to the app database. You browse or search curated mobile UI patterns and screenshots, save discoveries to Favorites, and group research into Collections tied to individual projects.
Use Cases
- Freelance mobile app designers who need fast, reliable UI pattern references before starting a new project.
- In-house product designers at tech companies who benchmark their app flows against real in-production interfaces.
- UX researchers at design agencies who build project-specific inspiration libraries using Collections.
- Junior designers developing their craft by studying best-practice UI patterns from live apps.
- Design team leads who share curated Collections with their team to align on interface standards.
Why Choose This Product
Pttrns suits UI and UX designers who want a dedicated, curated source of mobile design patterns rather than sifting through general-purpose design platforms.
