Corner personality

Soft → pill (12px+) — calm, gentle

Pick one and apply it to every card, button, input, and modal. Mixing sharp and round corners is the #1 tell of un-designed UI.

Color

Soft accent, vivid only for metric rings/progress on a calm base. Reds only for real alerts.

Density

Low-medium. One focus per screen (today's rings, next action).

Typography

Big friendly numbers (2:1), gentle labels, generous spacing.

Motion

Float (weightless) for reveals; Pulse only for live heartbeat. Never urgent.

Patterns

Activity rings, big-metric hero, streak/progress, large touch targets, weekly history.

Avoid in health, wellness & fitness

  • dense data dumps
  • alarming colors for normal states
  • tiny targets
  • shame-y empty states
