Notifications UI design examples

A notification centre collects updates in one place so people can catch up without hunting through the app. Our screens include filter tabs, notifications grouped under Today and Earlier with unread dots and type icons, a mark-all-read action and delivery settings, designed for web and mobile across eight visual styles, light and dark. Every example is an original design that comes with its HTML code and a DESIGN.md of colour, type and spacing tokens, in light and dark. Free to use and adapt.

Notifications center design tips

Write each notification so it makes sense on its own, naming who did what to which item, and link straight to that item.
Mark unread items with both a dot and stronger text weight, and clear them when opened rather than when merely scrolled past.
Group repeated activity on the same item, such as several comments, into one entry with a count to reduce noise.
Link to delivery settings from the notification centre itself, so people can turn down noisy categories at the moment they feel overwhelmed.

Questions

What should a notification centre include?

A chronological list of notifications grouped by time, clear unread indicators, filters by type such as mentions or assignments, a mark-all-read action and a link to notification settings. Each item should show who, what and when, and open the relevant item directly.

How do you design notification settings?

Group settings by category and channel, so people can choose, for example, mentions by email and push but comments in-app only. Offer sensible defaults, a pause or quiet hours option and a clear way to unsubscribe from everything without losing account emails.

Should notifications be grouped?

Yes, when several events relate to the same item or happen in a short burst. Grouping them, for example three new comments on one task, keeps the list readable and reduces repeated alerts. Let people expand a group to see each individual event.
