Sketch

Sketch is a native macOS design tool made by Sketch B.V., a company based in the Netherlands, first released in 2010. It popularized many of the concepts modern UI design tools rely on, including symbols, shared libraries and artboards for screens, and it was the industry standard for interface design before browser-based Figma overtook it.

Editing happens in the Mac app, which works offline and takes advantage of native performance on Apple hardware. Components, shared libraries, Smart Layout, color variables and styles, and prototyping with interactive flows cover day-to-day UI work. A web app adds real-time collaboration, comments, developer handoff with inspection and asset export, and viewing access from any platform. A large plugin ecosystem built over a decade extends the app. Subscriptions are priced per editor, and a Mac-only license with a year of updates is still available for those who prefer to own their software.

Sketch fits Mac-based designers and teams who value native speed, offline work and the option of a perpetual license, and organizations with years of Sketch libraries. Editing requires a Mac, collaboration and handoff lag Figma's, and community and plugin activity have shrunk as the industry moved on. Figma is the cross-platform default, Penpot is the open-source browser-based option, and Lunacy can open Sketch files on Windows and Linux.
