Sketch

Sketch is a digital design tool made for interface and app designers. It began as a Mac application and now covers the whole route from early ideas to prototypes and handoff to developers.

What Sketch offers

• Interface design — vector tools, reusable symbols and stacks with flexible sizing.
• Prototyping — playable prototypes with Smart Animate, testable on devices.
• Collaboration — several people can work in one document at the same time.
• Developer handoff — designs shared with inspection details for engineers.
• Offline work — the native Mac app runs without a connection.
• Effects — shadows and other effects supported in more places.

Who it works with

Freelancers, product designers and large design teams. Sketch says more than a million people use it.
