BoostVPN Mobile App
A VPN app designed around one truth: users open it to press one button. Everything else supports that moment.
Overview
BoostVPN protects connections with one tap. The redesign started from usage reality — most sessions are under ten seconds — and rebuilt the interface around instant confidence rather than feature tours.
The challenge
VPN apps overload their home screen with protocols, maps, and stats, burying the connect action users came for. At the same time, power users still need server choice and speed information within reach. The design had to serve both without compromise.
The approach
- Made the connect action a single, oversized, state-clear button — connected, connecting, and protected states readable at arm's length.
- Moved server selection to a fast, searchable sheet with latency shown honestly per location.
- Designed onboarding to reach the first successful connection in seconds, with permissions explained in plain language.
- Used a dark, calm UI with one accent color so status changes carry the meaning.
The outcome
An app that feels instant and trustworthy: open, tap, protected. The component-based design system keeps future features — split tunneling, speed tests — from crowding the core moment.
