HyperJar’s approach uses a simple icon grid by category, and it works really well for quick scanning and discovery. It made me wonder whether Monzo could adopt something similar.
Why the grid layout feels better:
-
Quicker visual scanning - logos are faster to recognise than reading lines of text
-
More options on screen - less scrolling needed
-
Encourages browsing - easier to spot places you might use
-
Cleaner and less text-heavy - feels lighter cognitively
-
Familiar interaction - behaves like a phone home screen
