Empty States
235 curated screenshots of empty-state UI from real shipped apps
Tier B · UsefulGalleryReferenceemptystat.es
Empty States is a single-purpose gallery of interfaces with no data yet: no drafts in Outlook, no likes in Figma Community, no card usage in Monzo, empty Slack, Gmail, Reddit, Feedly and Basecamp screens. It holds 235 captures across four pages, filterable by Latest, Mobile, Desktop, iOS and Android, each on its own permalink with the app name, platform and capture date. It is free, static (Gatsby) and needs no account. The collection skews to 2014-2021 captures and shows no sign of recent additions.
For an agent
Reach for this the moment you are writing an empty state and the placeholder copy is about to become 'No items found' — the 235 permalink titles alone ('No drafts in Outlook for Android', 'No bookmarks in Basecamp') are readable text and give you the naming and framing pattern without needing to see the image. It is a static Gatsby site with server-rendered links, so it crawls fine, but the substance is in the screenshots, so you cannot extract copy verbatim without vision. Use it for the one element it covers and go to uxpatterns.dev for the accessibility and structure rules around it.
Why it is here. Empty states are the screen teams forget and users hit first, and this is still the only decent free archive of how shipped products actually handle them.
