The Challenge: Redesign Life360’s mobile widgets to deliver core safety and location features at a glance, while aligning with the brand’s visual identity.
The updated widgets bring key Life360 functions, like real-time location, trip history, and battery status, directly to users’ home screens for instant access. Designed for iOS and Android, the layouts combine brand colors, clean typography, and intuitive iconography to create glanceable, user-friendly components that keep families connected, safe, and informed.
Life360 is a location-based safety app designed to keep families connected and informed in real time. From location tracking and driving reports to emergency alerts and battery life updates, the app focuses on peace of mind through technology. The widget redesign project centered around bringing core Life360 features, like location, trip history, and family status, directly to users’ mobile home screens for instant access. Designed for both iOS and Android, the widgets needed to visually align with Life360’s established brand standards while elevating usability and visual clarity in compact formats.
Context
The approach focused on creating widgets that could distill essential Life360 functions into glanceable, intuitive components. Key user flows, like checking a loved one’s location, reviewing trip data, or monitoring battery life, were prioritized to help users access insights without opening the app. The design incorporates Life360’s brand elements, a vibrant purple palette, clean geometric typography, and the fingerprint logo icon. By layering utility with brand consistency, the widgets reinforce trust, connection, and simplicity. Custom iconography, rounded UI elements, and trip mapping features all contribute to a design language that feels both friendly and precise.
Strategy
The final set of widgets includes a variety of card formats tailored to different family needs. Each widget features real-time data, such as location status (“At Home”), battery percentage, and recent trip timelines, with contextual icons like map pins, walking figures, and trip lines. The primary family member profile image adds a personal, human layer to the experience. A larger widget showcases a route map with animated location pins and time stamps, visually narrating a user’s journey. Supporting widgets provide quick-glance trip summaries, each designed with high legibility and clear hierarchy. Through consistent typography, color use, and responsive layout, the widgets expand the Life360 experience while staying deeply rooted in its core purpose, keeping families connected, safe, and informed.
