Sketch is a design toolkit for creating user interfaces, prototypes, and design systems. It combines a native macOS app for offline or real-time collaborative design with a web app for commenting, sharing, and developer handoff, plus companion iPhone and iPad apps for viewing documents and mirroring designs. Core capabilities include vector editing, reusable Symbols and component Libraries, Smart Animate prototyping, and free tools for developers to inspect files, export assets, and download design tokens.
