Onboarding checklist
A dismissible in-app checklist of 4-5 setup steps with progress and one next-step CTA.
Expected impact
The canonical activation lever: completing setup steps correlates directly with retention.
Why it works
Appcues: users who complete onboarding checklists convert to paid at higher rates, with reported activation lifts of 20% or more.
The prototype prompt
This is the spec Growthtyping compiles for you. The {{brand.*}} tokens are replaced with colors, fonts, radii, and voice pulled from your brand — so the render comes out on-brand, not generic.
PATTERN SPEC: An in-app onboarding checklist card for {{brand.name}}: 4-5 setup steps with completed items checked in {{brand.success}} and struck through, the current step emphasized with a {{brand.primary}} action link, a slim progress bar on top, and a collapse control. Card {{brand.card_radius}} radius, 1px {{brand.border}} border, positioned bottom-right of an app shell mockup.Related ideas
