VIbe of the day: To-do list app
Traditional to-do apps often feel rigid and uninspiring, leaving users disengaged or overwhelmed by tasks. The goal of this app was to create a personalized task management experience that adapts to the user’s mood and vibe of the day. We aimed to increase engagement by making task organization emotionally intuitive and visually motivating.
Through user interviews and surveys, we learned that people want flexible categorization and visual cues that reflect how they feel, rather than only priority or deadlines. Early sketches revealed that color-coded moods and interactive cards help users quickly see and adjust their tasks. Iterating with Figma prototypes, we found that drag-and-drop task sorting by vibe and small animations increased perceived fun and usability.
The final design features a mood-based dashboard, color-coded task cards, and optional prompts to reflect daily feelings, all built with reusable components for consistency. Key decisions included dynamic layouts that adapt to task quantity, calming typography, and subtle micro-interactions to make task completion satisfying. The app now delivers a personalized, emotionally engaging experience that helps users feel more connected to their daily tasks and maintain motivation.
