What is before.click?
before.click is a design inspiration directory for iOS founders, app marketers, and designers preparing App Store screenshots. It collects real screenshot sets from top iOS apps, then lets users browse applications, search apps, styles, or categories, and open app detail pages. The site also includes an App Store Optimization article and a request app link.
Why before.click works
App Store screenshots often become a last minute export of the interface, which makes the listing explain features instead of selling the download. before.click puts real screenshot sets and ASO guidance in one searchable gallery, so a new screenshot set can start from proven visual patterns instead of a blank Figma frame.
before.click features
- Searchable screenshot gallery. Users can browse a long application gallery or search apps, styles, and categories, with a Ctrl+K shortcut shown on the site.
- Real App Store examples. The gallery focuses on real examples from top iOS apps, giving makers screenshot patterns they can study before designing their own listing.
- App detail pages. Each selected app page shows the app name, App Store category, store copy, screenshot images, and a Copy to Clipboard action.
- ASO insight content. The App Store Optimization article covers app name, subtitle, keyword field, screenshot captions, preview video, ratings, localization, paid traffic, and iteration.
- Request app link. A request app link gives visitors a way to suggest another App Store listing for the gallery.
Who before.click is for
- Indie iOS developers preparing a launch who need screenshot examples before opening Figma.
- App marketers refreshing a weak App Store listing and looking for proven caption and screenshot order patterns.
- Designers making store assets for clients who want references across categories, not a folder of random screenshots.
- ASO consultants who need a fast visual reference when explaining why screenshots should sell the benefit, not just show UI.
