noonfox onboarding lab

Onboarding lab · v1 · 2026-07-17

Snap it once.
Find it always.

A living workspace for NoonFox's welcome flow — the research behind it, the options on the table, and real animated screen mockups you can flip through. Every round of your feedback becomes a new page below.

Grounded in the app's live copy & brand, the 2026-06-25 onboarding research, and a fresh 4-track deep-research pass (RevenueCat, NN/g, Superwall, Adapty, Headspace, Cal AI teardowns).

Live mockup — the fox reads the shelf and files every item

Every iteration lives here

This is the home base. Each time you give feedback and a new page ships, it gets a row — name, what it is, and a link. Nothing is thrown away, so we can see how the thinking moved.

Where I need your call

Four decisions this round rests on

01 · Money

Hard gate, or gate after the aha?

You leaned toward pay-to-start. The research pushes back for a compounding app like this. See The Money.

02 · Length

How long is the flow allowed to be?

The "3–5 screens" rule is a myth. ~6–9 personalized screens convert better — if each earns its place.

03 · Segmentation

Ask "what brings you"? How many options?

Worth it — but only if each answer visibly changes the next screen. See Personas.

04 · ADHD branch

Separate path, or same flow, new voice?

Recommendation: one branch variable — copy, pace, paywall framing — not a separate screen graph.
