Sketcher vector graphics software

Sketch (often referred to as Sketcher by some users) is a premier vector graphics editor for macOS, developed by the Dutch company Sketch B.V. Originally released in 2010, the software became a cornerstone of digital design, particularly for UI and UX designers, due to its specialized focus on screen design rather than general print-based vector graphics.

The product is developed and maintained primarily in the Netherlands, where the company is headquartered. Over the years, Sketch has transitioned from a one-time purchase model to a subscription-based platform that includes real-time collaboration features and a web-based workspace, while remaining a native macOS application for its primary design environment.

Since its inception, the brand has remained independent. It was founded by Pieter Omvlee and Emanuel Sá and continues to operate as a private entity without being acquired by larger tech conglomerates like Adobe or Microsoft, maintaining its unique position in the design tool ecosystem.
