What it does
Pttrns provides curated mobile-interface screenshots and patterns. Its current offering is completely free, with an account giving access to the library, Favorites and project Collections. No credit card, trial or paid upgrade is required.
Pttrns collects interfaces from apps already in use. Its app database and mobile patterns are useful for comparing how products arrange a screen or present a common task.
Choose Sign up free to create an account. Use Favorites for a personal shortlist and Collections to group references for individual projects. Both belong to the free account, and the homepage says full access has no trial deadline or upgrade tier.
The terms confirm that former paid subscriptions have moved to free accounts and will not be billed again. They also explain that featured interfaces remain their creators’ intellectual property. The library is for research and reference; Pttrns does not grant unrestricted commercial reuse of its content.
