About the Social Media App

This social media app design template puts photography first: crisp white backgrounds, heavy black headings, and a single electric-indigo accent that carries stories rings, the floating create button, and primary actions. Rounded avatars, soft pill buttons, and generous spacing keep busy feeds and grids legible across every screen.

The template ships six connected screens that form a complete social loop. There's a Pulse feed with a stories tray and full-bleed photo posts, a masonry Discover grid with category filters, a Post composer for sharing an image with caption, location, and music, an Activity screen for follows and likes, an Inbox for direct messages with an active-now row, and a creator Profile with post stats and a media grid. Together they cover browsing, posting, reacting, and chatting end to end.

Use it in Sleek and make it yours: restyle the indigo palette, edit any screen with AI by describing the change, and add the flows your product needs. Export it to code, copy it straight into Figma, or hand a prompt to an AI agent to build it into a working app, all far faster than starting from a blank canvas.

Screens included

Pulse Feed

The home feed opens with a stories tray topped by a "My Story" add button, then full-bleed photo posts with author, timestamp, and like and comment counts. The floating indigo plus button anchors quick posting.

Discover

A masonry grid of photos and videos under a "Discover anything..." search bar with scrollable category chips like Photography and Travel. Built for browsing trending content and creators.

Post

A composer that previews the selected image with edit and expand controls, a caption field, and rows to Tag People, Add Location, and Add Music before tapping "Share". The core sharing flow.

Activity

Notifications split into "New Notifications" and "Earlier", with inline Follow and Confirm or Delete buttons plus thumbnails of liked posts. Keeps engagement actionable in one tap.

Inbox

Direct messages with an active-now avatar row, a search bar, and chat rows showing names, message previews, timestamps, and unread dots. Group chats get their own icons.

Profile

A creator profile with avatar, verified handle, posts, fans, and pulse counts, a bio with link, Edit Profile and Insights buttons, and a tabbed media grid. The personal hub.

Questions, answered. Everything to know before you start.

How do I design a social media app from this template?

Click "Use this template" to open it in Sleek as your own editable project, then shape it by describing the changes you want: restyle the palette, edit any screen, and add the flows your product needs. You start from six complete screens instead of a blank canvas, so you reach a working social media app design far faster.

What screens are included in this social media app design template?

Six connected screens: a Pulse feed, Discover grid, Post composer, Activity notifications, Inbox messages, and a creator Profile. Together they cover the full social loop of browsing, posting, reacting, and chatting.

Can I customize the social media app UI?

Yes. Use the template in Sleek and edit any screen by chatting with the AI: change the indigo accent, swap layouts, adjust the feed cards, or add new flows. There's no manual redraw; you describe the change and it's applied.

Is this social media app design template free to use?

You can open and explore the design for free, then use it in your own Sleek project to build on it. Editing and exporting follow Sleek's standard plans.

Can I export the design to code or Figma?

Yes. Sleek exports your design as code, copies straight into Figma with no plugin, or hands you a ready-made prompt that an AI agent like Claude Code or Cursor can use to build it into a real, working app.

Is this template suitable for a photo-sharing or creator app?

Absolutely. The stories tray, masonry Discover grid, post composer, and creator profile map cleanly onto photo-sharing, creator, or niche community apps. Adjust the categories and content to fit your audience.
