The problem

Shipping polished animations is
harder than it should be

LottieFiles has thousands of files, but they don’t match

Loader from one creator, success state from another, empty state from a third. Your app ends up looking like a grab bag instead of a product.

Ae

After Effects is built for film and broadcast, not microinteractions

Expressions and keyframe graphs are powerful tools for full motion sequences, but overkill for a 200ms loading spinner that needs to ship today.

Motion designers price for projects, not microinteractions

Agency rates and freelance minimums are calibrated for launch videos and brand reels, not the small UI moments that add up across a product.

How it works

Three steps to a
production-ready animation

01

Pick a template

Browse a curated library of microinteractions, designed to work together. Every template shares the same style, so your app looks consistent.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need motion design experience?

No. Motionist is built for developers who want polished UI animations without learning motion design. Pick a template, match your brand, export.

What formats can I export to?

Lottie JSON, GIF, MP4, and ready-to-use code components. More formats coming at launch.

Will the animations affect my app's performance?

Lottie files are typically under 50KB — far lighter than GIFs or videos. They render as vector graphics, so they scale cleanly and load fast.

Can I request a custom animation?

Yes. All waitlist members can request specific microinteractions. We prioritize based on demand — the most-requested templates get built first.

Will this work with my tech stack?

Yes. Export as Lottie JSON for any web framework, or grab a ready-to-use component. Works with React, Vue, Svelte, Next.js, Nuxt, and anything that renders HTML.

Is this different from After Effects or Rive?

After Effects is built for film and broadcast. Rive is built for interactive design. Motionist is built specifically for UI microinteractions inside products — loading states, success checks, empty states — with brand customization and one-click export.

What do waitlist members get?

1 month free when Motionist launches, plus the ability to request specific animation templates. Want more? 10 founding member spots are available for $29 lifetime access at the bottom of the page.

When does Motionist launch?

We're building toward a 2026 launch. Waitlist members will be the first to know. Follow the build at @anubhavbuilds.
