Sketch is an application for Mac that is entirely focused on creating stunning user interfaces for mobile apps and websites. While it`s been loaded with so many features, there are people who are working to build custom plugins for it to make it more powerful. So in this post we`ve carefully hand-picked 25 free plugins for Sketch which help designers to achieve better results in their work.
Style Inventory
Design requires free, sometimes chaotic exploration. But design also means organization and structure. Sketch can be good in both aspects, but moving from exploration to structured layouts with text styles and unified colors is hard. Either you start clean files from scratch, or you use what you have and try to tidy it up. The Style Inventory is meant to help you with that. It gives you an overview of all your used styles and helps you to merge styles of similar layers into one.
