Every account you ever created, every service you signed up for, and every online purchase is connected to your email. Most people have hundreds of accounts they've forgotten about, creati

# Design Brief: Minimal Monochrome

Monochrome palette with a single accent color, hairline dividers, and generous whitespace.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #292f3b;
  --surface: #242832;
  --foreground: #b9d0d4;
  --muted-foreground: #a1b2ba;
  --accent: #a3e889;
  --radius: 4px;
  --font-heading: "Lato", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Lato", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #292F3B (~63%) · Surface #242832 (~27%) · Text #B9D0D4 (~5%) · Muted Text #A1B2BA (~3%) · Accent #A3E889 (~2%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.

## Layout & Conversion Structure

- Hero layout: Centered Headline + CTA
- Navigation: Full-Width Top Bar
- Theme & density: Dark · Airy
- Border radius & elevation: Small Radius; use elevation shadows to separate layers
- Primary visual medium: Pure Typography & Geometry
- Conversion CTA: Download App / Install Extension
- Headline hook: Direct Action Command
- Hero components: Video Demo
- Spatial layout notes: Centered Headline + CTA hero structure paired with download app / install extension CTA and no explicit trust bar.
- Visual summary: Minimal Monochrome (Dark canvas, airy density) featuring centered headline + cta layout and pure typography & geometry visuals.

## Avoid

- Multi-stop neon gradients
- Heavy drop shadows
- More than one competing accent color

Implement the UI following the design tokens and layout specifications above: use only these color variables, and reserve the accent color strictly for primary actions and active states. Adopt only this visual style—never copy any reference product’s brand name, logo, copy, or imagery.
