@rds1 What about colors, button rounding, etc?
RDS
@artashes_baghdasaryan there would be 3 colors White , dark black aka pitch black , material ocean (I like it) Usually phones comes with curve edges so, use round buttons or use button like google photos. When you tap on bottom button it gets highlighted. You can take example from Product hunt, oneplus store app. Can help more if you tell which specific stuff you made your product for.

@rds1 Sure the product is Health-related the name BLiiNK. It is an AI-powered application designed to improve health and productivity for computer users. It monitors your blink rate, posture, and distance from the screen, providing real-time notifications to encourage healthier habits. https://www.bliink.ai/

@artashes_baghdasaryan first of all I just googled and found another app with same name. You are making something unique application. I would say make a separate section where you put all the information regarding human eye working while working on computer like how computer screen light can harm and remedies to avoid those. A whole section with good knowledge. Or why walking is good or why you should eat carrots. You have to find all the info yourself. I am just sharing how much I know. Then you come to main page. Where when you open the app it shows some important information like take break after every xyz minute and why you should take it and notification if your posture is wrong with a good notification sound and customer can change sound even add toogle to enable/disable it. After this you can set or run the actual timer like remainder to drink water or keep a break for some minutes to rest your eyes and many more. Again you have to gather information. What I think is it would be good if you keep section option on the top and when you click on particular sections it gets highlighted from others. I must say keep this app as simple as possible cuz no programmer gonna like tons of UI colors. The section which I mentioned earlier (where I gave example of human eye working) keep its background like twitter ( I mean simple and keep a little boundary to separate one information to another. Boundary padding must be so small that you can when it ends yet doesn’t look ugly. I forgot to mention that make a highlight example why eating carrots are important for eyes. If person is interested then he click and then it shows whole information. So, main section must be clean and beautiful. I have one more point which I can’t share cuz that point can make this app better than other apps.

Trivial but seems to be spreading like wildfire amongst the web design community - partially transparent and blurry navbars like the Apple Design Systems.
