Detailed instructions

1. Select the navigation type that matches your mockup context — website, dashboard, e-commerce, or mobile app.
2. Set the count to match the number of nav slots in your component, typically between four and eight.
3. Click Generate to produce a tailored list of placeholder navigation labels.
4. Copy the full label list and paste it directly into your Figma, Sketch, or code component.
5. Regenerate as many times as needed to get a set whose labels fit your specific layout or client industry.

Use Cases

• •Populating Figma header nav components before copywriting is complete
• •Creating realistic sidebar menus for SaaS dashboard wireframes
• •Filling mobile bottom-navigation bars in iOS or Android app mockups
• •Building Storybook component stories that need realistic navigation props
• •Seeding HTML component libraries with plausible nav structure before CMS is connected

Tips

• →For dropdown menus, generate two separate batches — one for top-level items, one for sub-items — and keep sub-item labels narrower in scope.
• →When testing with real users, dashboard-type labels like 'Reports' and 'Settings' read as more credible than generic website labels, even on non-dashboard prototypes.
• →Match the label count exactly to your component slots before generating; unused labels add clutter and make handoff notes confusing.
• →If a generated label feels too generic for a niche product, use it as a category name and rename child items to match the specific domain.
• →For mobile bottom-nav bars, generate four or five labels and verify they fit within typical icon-plus-label constraints — labels over twelve characters often truncate on small screens.
• →Combine this tool with a placeholder logo and dummy body copy to create a fully dummied-up prototype that removes all design distractions from stakeholder reviews.
