About the project
Triggero is a “virtual psychologist” mobile app for taking care of mental health. It brings together psychological exercises, practices, articles, tests and a mood tracker: a few minutes a day help people understand themselves better and cope with stress and anxiety. The app is available on the App Store, and the service also has a web version at triggero.ru.
The challenge
Users most often come to an app like this in a difficult state, so the interface must not demand effort. We had to design a calm, friendly environment with illustrations, where the right technique can be found in a couple of taps and the practices themselves run without distracting elements.
Getting to know the app
On first launch, the user is greeted by a welcome tutorial. The interface dims and only the relevant element is highlighted — the header with the avatar, a personal greeting by name and the question “Where shall we start today?”, as well as search and favorites. A short text explains what the block is, and the “Next” button leads to the following tip.
Library
The main content lives in the “Library”. At the top are four illustrated sections: “Exercises”, “Practices”, “Articles” and “Breathe”. Below are themed collections of exercises: all exercises, stress relief, relationships, emotional control. Each collection has a short note on which situation it suits. The bottom navigation holds home, library, tests, the chatbot and a central “+” button.
The “Breathe” section is a quick breathing practice for when emotions run high and you need a reset. Before starting, the user sees all the parameters: total time — 2 minutes, inhale, hold and exhale — 4 seconds each. One “Start practice” button and no extra settings.
Audio practices
For meditations, we built a full-screen player. A calm landscape with mountains reflected in water, the practice title — for example, “Stress relief. Meditation” with the method noted — a progress bar with the current time and duration, 10-second rewind and fast-forward, and a large pause button. At the top there is only a close button and an add-to-favorites button.
Result
We ended up with an app where psychological tools in different formats — exercises, breathing techniques, articles and audio practices — are gathered in one clear library. A soft palette and illustrations make the interface friendly, and each practice starts in one or two taps.
