Overview
Overview
Hinto is a concept app built to reimagine mobile document workflows. From scanning physical papers to editing, converting, and chatting with an AI assistant, the app offers a seamless experience through a unified and minimal UI. I designed the core interface and additional screens to showcase a cohesive visual system, optimized for everyday productivity.

Challenge
Challenge
The challenge was to design a mobile experience that combines multiple complex document workflows—scanning, editing, converting, and AI chat—into one simple and intuitive app. Each flow had to feel light and approachable, without compromising functionality or clarity.

Redesign focus
Home Screen – Welcome & Navigation Hub
The home screen acts as the user’s starting point and greets them with a bold, friendly message: “Hi Hinto, how can I help you today?” Beneath the greeting, users see four main actions—Scan, Edit, Convert, and Ask AI—each represented by soft-rounded cards with monochrome icons and micro-descriptions. This hub sets the tone: intuitive, warm, and highly focused.

Edit & Notifications – Clarity Meets Control
The edit screen is built for simplicity. Users can easily add text, draw, sign documents, or highlight sections using a focused toolbar. The interface stays clean, with tools only surfacing when needed to avoid overwhelming the user.
Notifications follow the same clean logic. Delivered in soft card-style alerts, system messages appear subtly without disrupting the workflow. Status icons, timestamps, and color accents help prioritize attention. This consistent card-based design language reinforces the calm tone of the product.

File History – Recent Documents at a Glance
The document history screen provides an organized archive of the user’s recent activity. Each file is displayed as a thumbnail card with metadata like file type, date modified, and file name. The grid layout with soft spacing ensures that users can scan and locate documents quickly. Small icons indicate actions like re-open, share, or delete, keeping functionality close without clutter.

Next steps
Future iterations could explore user testing with interactive prototypes, dark mode support, cloud integrations (e.g., Google Drive, Dropbox), and extending the AI assistant’s capabilities to provide real-time document summaries, OCR, and smart file recommendations.
