What Refero Design is
Refero Design is a UI/UX inspiration platform organised around a large library of screens taken from real products. It covers both web applications and iOS applications, and it groups them by page type, flow, UX pattern, and UI element so you can find a specific pattern rather than a vague mood board. The library is described as large, and it spans screens, flows, and patterns, which makes it useful when you want to see how a familiar interaction is usually built. Refero does not publish a price list on its site. Access runs through a log in or sign up step, and the free listing on the page points to a free tier as the entry point rather than a paid-only product.
What you can do with it
- Search by image: upload or drag a screenshot and get designs that look similar
- Describe a task in research mode and receive analysis, references, and reasoning
- Browse real product flows such as pricing structures and notification inbox patterns
- Study screens across categories, from onboarding to checkout, for web and iOS
Who it is for
- Designers who need concrete references before opening a design tool
- Developers who want to see how established products structure key flows
- Product managers and AI developers who collect patterns at scale
What to watch out for
The value here is reference material, not finished assets. You still have to turn what you see into something original for your own product, and copying a competitor's screen too closely is a decision you own. Because the site does not publish pricing, the limits of the free tier can change at any time, and some material may sit behind the sign-up wall. Sign-up is required before you can browse, so it is worth deciding whether the library matches your current project before creating an account. Treat it as a research aid that speeds up the first hour of a project, not a substitute for design judgement.
