What comes between sign-in and the trial reminder in Cal AI’s paywall flow?

Short answer
The three public screens in Lazyweb’s August 2026 Cal AI onboarding-paywall capture show a save-progress sign-in choice, a trial introduction, then a reminder promise conditional on notifications being enabled. They do not show a purchase-confirmation sheet, a renewal price or the complete onboarding sequence. source[1]
The captured order
| Position | What is visible | What it establishes |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Save your progress, with Apple, Google and email options | Account choices are presented before the trial introduction in this captured segment. |
| 2 | Trial invitation, a product-scanning visual and a Try Now action | The screen introduces the trial and says no payment is due now. |
| 3 | Reminder promise before the trial ends, conditional on notifications | The next screen addresses trial-end reassurance and offers a continuation action. |
All three observations come from the ordered public capture. source[1]
What this does not establish
The segment does not show a selected subscription duration, total renewal amount, completed purchase or delivered reminder. It cannot establish the full onboarding length, whether sign-in can be skipped, or what every account sees. The separate onboarding and notifications captures provide additional context, but combining their step counts does not by itself reconstruct one continuous journey. source[1]source[2]source[3] The full public app-tree capture now exposes the plan selector and App Store sheet that follow this segment. source[4]
A useful design hypothesis
Separate account persistence, the invitation to try and trial-end reassurance when each answers a different user question. Keep a reminder promise tied to the conditions under which it can actually be delivered. Test comprehension and completion in your own product; the existence of this sequence is not proof that it converts better.
