Overview
Sketch is the native-Mac veteran that defined modern UI design tooling before browser-based rivals arrived. It remains fast, offline-friendly and beloved by designers who prefer a focused desktop app, with a mature plugin ecosystem filling gaps. Real-time collaboration exists but trails Figma's, and there is no Windows or Linux story, which effectively rules it out for mixed-platform teams. For Mac-only shops, its one-time license option keeps it attractive.
