| What it is | 600,000+ screens and 300,000+ user flows from 1,000+ shipped apps and websites, organized as flow trees so you see complete journeys rather than isolated screens. OCR-indexed, so you can search text inside the screenshots. | Social portfolio network of static UI 'shots'. Images only — no files, no code, no Figma sources unless a designer chooses to link one. Much of what trends is unbuilt concept work. |
