How many onboarding screens should an app have?

Three to five is the sweet spot. Fewer than three rarely communicates the value, and more than five risks users skipping the flow entirely. This generator uses the classic five-screen pattern: welcome, three highlights, and a completion screen.

What should the welcome screen say?

The welcome screen should greet the user, name the product, and state the single biggest benefit in one line. Keep it warm and short — its only job is to earn the next tap, not to explain every feature.

Should feature highlights focus on features or benefits?

Lead with the benefit and mention the feature in support. Users care what they can accomplish, not how it works internally. Phrasing each highlight as a verb phrase, such as automate weekly reports, keeps the focus on outcomes.

Why include a completion screen?

A completion screen confirms the user finished the tour, congratulates them, and hands off to the real app with a clear primary action. It closes the loop so the flow does not just end abruptly on the last feature slide.

Can users skip onboarding?

Always provide a visible skip option. Forced onboarding frustrates returning or confident users and can hurt activation. Make the tour valuable enough that most choose to read it, but never trap anyone inside it.

Onboarding Copy Generator

The first run of an app is where most activation is won or lost. A short, clear onboarding flow tells new users what the product does, shows three concrete things they can do, and hands off into the app on a high note. This generator builds that five-screen flow from your product name and three feature phrases.

How it works

You supply a product name and three feature phrases written as verb phrases (for example “track all your projects in one dashboard”). The tool assembles the canonical five-screen structure:

1. welcome   — greet the user and name the product
2. highlight — feature 1, framed as a benefit
3. highlight — feature 2, framed as a benefit
4. highlight — feature 3, framed as a benefit
5. finish    — congratulate and hand off to the app

It capitalises the start of each feature sentence and wraps the welcome and finish screens around your highlights. The friendly tone adds warmth and exclamation; the professional tone keeps the wording measured for B2B tools.

Tips and notes

Write feature phrases as outcomes, not mechanics — “automate weekly reports” beats “uses our scheduling engine”. Keep each screen to a one-line title and a one-sentence body so it reads in a glance on a phone.

Always pair this flow with a visible skip control, and make the final screen’s button the real entry point into the product so users land somewhere useful the moment the tour ends.
