Check out the empty state page for WellCue*

A gentle pause but not a void. This screen design offers calm encouragement to the user when there’s nothing in their tasks tab. It reinforces the idea that having nothing to do is sometimes the most productive thing of all, thus remaining on brand.

I really liked the way you presented your work—it's engaging, concise, and straight to the point. The overall calming vibe is lovely, and I appreciate how the copy, UI shapes, colors, and illustration all work in harmony. The tone of voice in the copy is especially strong: friendly, easygoing, and conversational.

If I had to nitpick, there are just two small points I'd consider:

  • The title is longer than the body text, which slightly distorts the visual hierarchy. You might consider trimming it—perhaps removing “and it’s always a good thing”—and adding a logical bridge to the button, like: “You’ve got space to breathe—or move mountains. Add tasks.”
  • The button “Nope, let’s take a break!” fits the tone and vibe perfectly, but I’m curious what happens when a user taps it. How does the screen respond or state change?

Overall, this is thoughtful and well-executed work. You clearly have a great eye for tone and detail. Keep going—you’re onto something special here. Can’t wait to see what you create next!

This is incredible feedback! Looking back at it, there is a significant imbalance between the title and the body text, your recommendation of making the copy read "You’ve got space to breathe—or move mountains. Add tasks." makes more sense. I will incorporate this. As for the "Nope, let's take a break!" button - this would lead to a locked screen where the user has to swipe to unlock it, thus registering that the break was cancelled and adding that information to the wellness data i.e. user cancelled break, recommend later. I will add the screen to this and share the prototype too. Thank you very much, Irina.

Larry, this is a really thoughtful take on empty states 👏. What works very well here is how you’ve aligned tone of voice, visuals, and interaction design into one cohesive flow. The calm encouragement, paired with light humor in the button copy, really captures the brand personality while reducing any sense of friction.

A couple of things you might polish further:

  • Hierarchy balance → as Irina mentioned, trimming the title will help users parse the content faster and keep the focus on action.
  • Button clarity → the playful copy works, but making sure the user fully understands the outcome (break vs. add task) is key. Maybe consider a subtle secondary label or tooltip.
  • Microinteractions → since your design leans into wellness, even a small breathing animation or soft transition after tapping “take a break” could reinforce the calm vibe 🌿.

Overall, this is not just an empty state — it feels like a micro-moment of brand storytelling. You’re turning “nothing” into something meaningful. Keep pushing this direction, you’re on a strong path 🚀.
