Keep Design System

Version: 1.0 Created: 2026-01-17 Status: Active

Overview

This design system defines the visual language for Keep application. It ensures consistency across all components and screens while supporting multiple themes (light, dark, midnight, sepia).

Key Principles:

Consistent spacing using 4px base unit
Clear visual hierarchy
Accessible color contrast (WCAG 2.1 AA)
Theme-agnostic design
Responsive breakpoints
44x44px minimum touch targets

Design Tokens

Spacing Scale (4px Base Unit)

All spacing uses the standard Tailwind spacing scale:

Token	Value	Pixels	Usage
`p-1` / `gap-1`	0.25rem	4px	Tiny gaps, icon padding
`p-2` / `gap-2`	0.5rem	8px	Small padding, badges
`p-3` / `gap-3`	0.75rem	12px	Button padding, small inputs
`p-4` / `gap-4`	1rem	16px	Card padding, standard gap
`p-6` / `gap-6`	1.5rem	24px	Section padding
`p-8`	2rem	32px	Large containers

Standards:

Cards: p-4 (16px)
Buttons: px-4 py-2 (16px/8px)
Inputs: px-3 py-2 (12px/8px)
Badges: px-2 py-0.5 (8px/2px)
Form sections: gap-4 (16px)

Border Radius

Consistent corner rounding across all components:

Token	Value	Pixels	Usage
`rounded`	0.25rem	4px	Small elements, icon buttons
`rounded-md`	0.375rem	6px	Inputs, small buttons
`rounded-lg`	0.5rem	8px	Cards, buttons (default)
`rounded-xl`	0.75rem	12px	Modals, large containers
`rounded-2xl`	1rem	16px	Hero elements, search bars
`rounded-full`	9999px	Circular	Avatars, pill badges

Standards:

Cards/NoteCards: rounded-lg (8px)
Buttons: rounded-md (6px)
Inputs: rounded-md (6px)
Badges (text): rounded-full (pills)
Search bars: rounded-lg (8px)
Icons: rounded-full (circular)
Modals/Dialogs: rounded-xl (12px)

Shadow/Elevation

Clear elevation hierarchy for depth perception:

Token	Value	Usage
`shadow-sm`	0 1px 2px	Cards (base), buttons (hover)
`shadow`	0 1px 3px	Default elevation
`shadow-md`	0 4px 6px	Cards (hover), dropdowns
`shadow-lg`	0 10px 15px	Modals, elevated content

Standards:

Cards: shadow-sm (base), hover:shadow-md (interactive)
Buttons: No shadow (flat), hover:shadow-sm (optional)
Modals: shadow-lg (elevated)
Dropdowns: shadow-lg (elevated)

Typography Scale

Consistent font sizes and weights using Tailwind defaults:

Font Sizes

Token	Value	Pixels	Usage
`text-xs`	0.75rem	12px	Labels, small text, badges, metadata
`text-sm`	0.875rem	14px	Body text, buttons, inputs
`text-base`	1rem	16px	Card titles, emphasized text
`text-lg`	1.125rem	18px	Section headers
`text-xl`	1.25rem	20px	Page titles
`text-2xl`	1.5rem	24px	Large headings

Font Weights

Token	Value	Usage
`font-normal`	400	Body text
`font-medium`	500	Emphasized text, button labels
`font-semibold`	600	Section titles
`font-bold`	700	Major headings

Typography Hierarchy

H1: text-2xl font-bold (24px) - Page titles
H2: text-xl font-semibold (20px) - Section headers
H3: text-lg font-medium (18px) - Card titles
Body: text-sm text-gray-700 (14px) - Body text
Button: text-sm font-medium (14px) - Button labels
Label: text-xs font-medium (12px) - Labels/badges
Metadata: text-xs text-gray-500 (12px) - Metadata, dates

Color System

The design uses CSS custom properties defined in globals.css for theme support.

Semantic Colors (CSS Variables)

/* Primary Actions */
--primary: oklch(0.205 0 0)
--primary-foreground: oklch(0.985 0 0)

/* Secondary Elements */
--secondary: oklch(0.97 0 0)
--secondary-foreground: oklch(0.205 0 0)

/* Accent/Highlight */
--accent: oklch(0.97 0 0)
--accent-foreground: oklch(0.205 0 0)

/* Destructive Actions */
--destructive: oklch(0.577 0.245 27.325)

/* Foreground/Background */
--background: oklch(1 0 0)
--foreground: oklch(0.145 0 0)

/* Card Background */
--card: oklch(1 0 0)
--card-foreground: oklch(0.145 0 0)

/* Muted Text */
--muted: oklch(0.97 0 0)
--muted-foreground: oklch(0.556 0 0)

/* Borders & Inputs */
--border: oklch(0.922 0 0)
--input: oklch(0.922 0 0)

/* Focus Ring */
--ring: oklch(0.708 0 0)

Functional Color Patterns

/* Text Colors */
text-foreground       - Primary text
text-muted-foreground - Secondary text, metadata
text-destructive      - Error messages, delete actions
text-primary         - Primary action text

/* Background Colors */
bg-background      - Main background
bg-card           - Card background
bg-secondary       - Secondary elements
bg-accent         - Highlight/active states
bg-destructive    - Error backgrounds

/* Border Colors */
border-border     - Default borders
border-input      - Input fields

Rule: Always use semantic color classes (e.g., bg-primary, text-foreground) instead of hardcoded colors (e.g., bg-blue-500) to support theming.

Transitions

Consistent transition values for smooth interactions:

Token	Value	Usage
`transition-colors duration-200`	200ms	Color changes (hover states)
`transition-all duration-200`	200ms	Multiple property changes
`transition-opacity duration-150`	150ms	Fade in/out
`transition-transform duration-200`	200ms	Movement/position

Standards:

Buttons/hover states: transition-colors duration-200
Cards: transition-all duration-200
Modals/overlays: transition-opacity duration-150

Focus States

All interactive elements must have visible focus indicators:

/* Focus Ring Pattern */
focus-visible:border-ring
focus-visible:ring-ring/50
focus-visible:ring-[3px]

Rule: Use focus-visible: instead of focus: to only show focus when navigating with keyboard.

Component Standards

Button

Default Size:

<Button className="h-9 px-4 py-2 text-sm font-medium rounded-md transition-colors duration-200">
  Button Label
</Button>

Small Size:

<Button size="sm" className="h-8 px-3 text-sm rounded-md">
  Small Button
</Button>

Variants:

default: Primary action (bg-primary text-primary-foreground)
secondary: Secondary action (bg-secondary text-secondary-foreground)
outline: Outlined button (border bg-background)
ghost: Transparent button (hover:bg-accent)
destructive: Delete/danger action (bg-destructive text-white)

Input

Standard Input:

<Input className="h-9 px-3 py-2 text-sm rounded-md border border-input focus-visible:ring-2 focus-visible:ring-ring/50" />

With Error State:

<Input className="border-destructive focus-visible:ring-destructive/50" />

Card

Standard Card:

<Card className="rounded-xl border p-4 shadow-sm hover:shadow-md transition-all duration-200">
  <CardHeader>
    <CardTitle className="text-lg font-medium">Card Title</CardTitle>
  </CardHeader>
  <CardContent>
    Card content
  </CardContent>
</Card>

Badge

Standard Badge:

<Badge variant="default" className="rounded-full px-2 py-0.5 text-xs font-medium">
  Badge Label
</Badge>

Variants:

default: Primary badge
secondary: Secondary badge
outline: Outlined badge
destructive: Error badge

NoteCard

Standard NoteCard:

<Card className="note-card group rounded-lg border p-4 shadow-sm hover:shadow-md transition-all duration-200">
  {/* Note content */}
</Card>

Accessibility Standards

Touch Targets

Minimum Size: 44x44px (WCAG 2.1 AA)

/* Icon Buttons - Ensure 44x44px on mobile */
<Button className="min-h-[44px] min-w-[44px] md:h-8 md:w-8">
  <Icon className="h-5 w-5" />
</Button>

Color Contrast

Minimum Ratios:

Normal text: 4.5:1 (WCAG AA)
Large text (18px+): 3:1 (WCAG AA)
UI components: 3:1 (WCAG AA)

Validation: Use WAVE browser extension or axe DevTools

Focus Indicators

All interactive elements must have visible focus states:

<button className="focus-visible:outline-none focus-visible:ring-2 focus-visible:ring-ring/50 focus-visible:ring-offset-2">
  Button
</button>

All interactive elements must be keyboard accessible
Tab order must be logical
Escape key should close modals/dropdowns
Enter/Space should activate buttons

Responsive Breakpoints

Tailwind default breakpoints:

Breakpoint	Minimum Width	Usage
`sm`	640px	Small tablets
`md`	768px	Tablets
`lg`	1024px	Desktops
`xl`	1280px	Large desktops
`2xl`	1536px	Extra large screens

Pattern: Mobile-first, use md:, lg:, etc. to override for larger screens.

Theme Support

The design system supports multiple themes:

Available Themes

Light (default) - Clean, bright interface
Dark - Dark mode for low-light environments
Midnight - Custom dark theme with blue tint
Sepia - Warm, book-like reading experience

Theme Implementation

Themes use CSS custom properties in globals.css:

[data-theme='midnight'] {
  --background: oklch(0.18 0.04 260);
  --foreground: oklch(0.985 0 0);
  /* ... */
}

Rule: Use semantic color variables (--primary, --foreground) instead of hardcoded colors to support all themes.

Anti-Patterns

❌ Don't Do

/* Hardcoded colors - breaks theming */
<div className="bg-blue-500 text-white">
  Blue background
</div>

/* Custom font sizes - breaks typography scale */
<p className="text-[10px]">
  Tiny text
</p>

/* Inconsistent spacing */
<div className="p-2.5">
  Odd padding
</div>

/* No focus state */
<button className="hover:bg-gray-100">
  Button
</button>

/* Touch target too small */
<button className="h-6 w-6">
  <Icon className="h-4 w-4" />
</button>

✅ Do Instead

/* Semantic colors - supports theming */
<div className="bg-primary text-primary-foreground">
  Primary background
</div>

/* Standard font sizes */
<p className="text-xs">
  Small text
</p>

/* Consistent spacing (4px base unit) */
<div className="p-2">
  Standard padding
</div>

/* Visible focus state */
<button className="hover:bg-accent focus-visible:ring-2 focus-visible:ring-ring/50">
  Button
</button>

/* Minimum 44x44px touch target */
<button className="min-h-[44px] min-w-[44px]">
  <Icon className="h-5 w-5" />
</button>

Component Checklist

When creating or updating components, ensure:

Spacing uses 4px base unit (p-2, gap-4, etc.)
Border radius follows standard (rounded-md, rounded-lg, etc.)
Typography follows hierarchy (text-sm, text-lg, etc.)
Colors use semantic variables (bg-primary, text-foreground)
Transitions use standard durations (duration-200, duration-150)
Focus states are visible (focus-visible:ring-2)
Touch targets are minimum 44x44px on mobile
Color contrast meets WCAG 2.1 AA standards
Dark mode works correctly (no hardcoded colors)
All themes work (light, dark, midnight, sepia)

Migration Guide

Converting Existing Components

Identify hardcoded colors:

// Before
className="bg-blue-100 text-blue-600"

// After
className="bg-accent text-primary"

Standardize spacing:

// Before
className="p-2.5 mb-3"

// After
className="p-3 mb-4"

Use standard border radius:

// Before
className="rounded-[10px]"

// After
className="rounded-lg"

Update typography:

// Before
className="text-[10px] font-bold"

// After
className="text-xs font-semibold"

Add focus states:
