Information Architecture Structure

The app is built around a single home screen with the character, tasks, habits and a calendar. From there users reach their profile with skills and achievements, a store with coin and diamond packs, settings, and flows for creating tasks, habits and skills.

Colors Palette

Evolvy lives in a dark interface with a vivid purple as the brand color. On top of it we designed eleven color themes, so everyone can pick the mood of their own app. Below are six of them with their accent colors.
