Headspace

Live better

Headspace leans on streaks, social proof and emotional onboarding to build habits. Our UX Bites cover activation, notification prompts and anti-churn tactics.

Key takeaways from 1 Case Study and 10 UX Bites

  • Onboarding sets a goal, then frames a short-term win as long-term value before the product is used

  • Starting a program, or returning after a break, both nudge you into turning on mindful reminders

  • Cancelling asks you to "sleep on it" with a sleep meditation, delaying the decision

Often uses:
