Sketch
Sketch is a digital design toolkit for macOS and the web used for vector graphics, UI design, prototyping, and team collaboration.
What is Sketch?
Sketch is a design and prototyping platform comprising a native macOS application, a web application, and iOS companion apps. It enables users to create vector graphics, design user interfaces using nestable frames and stack layouts, and build interactive prototypes with animated transitions and overlays. The software supports local offline editing as well as real-time multi-user collaboration and cloud document syncing. In addition, Sketch provides shared component libraries, design systems, and web-based developer inspection and asset handoff tools.
