Sketch
The tool that defined modern interface design, now a native macOS app with a web companion.
Definition
A macOS-native vector design tool with symbols, libraries and a mature plugin ecosystem. Its native performance is still strong, and collaboration is handled through the web companion rather than in the editor itself.
Craft convention. True because the industry converged on it. Breaking it costs familiarity, not correctness.
On this plate
Good for
- macOS-only teams
- Native performance on large files
- Established plugin workflows
Watch out for
macOS only for editing, which rules it out for mixed-platform teams.
