What Is Sketch?

Sketch is a vector design editor built only for macOS, paired with a web app for sharing, commenting and developer handoff. Designers work with Libraries, component variants, stack layouts and frames, and can keep documents offline. Prototypes support Smart Animate, overlays and multiple triggers, and can be previewed on iPhone and iPad through the Sketch iOS app. Plugins and an MCP server connect it to tools like Slack, Zeplin and AI coding clients.

Best for: Mac-based product design teams that want a native desktop editor and share files with developers through a browser.
