You share a design for feedback on one thing… and suddenly the conversation is about something else. Sharing designs works best when you can set clear boundaries. We wrote about how previews — and bringing designs into tools like Slack or Notion — help keep things focused here ↓ skt.ch/0jxRm69

For those of you working with the Sketch MCP server, we just launched a skills repo! Our first skill, sketch-implement-design, takes a design in Sketch and turns it into production-ready code with 1:1 visual fidelity. Take a look → github.com/sketch-hq/sk...

When your design document is really just a JSON file on your Mac, and you’ve got a local MCP server to work with, it turns out you can do…a lot of useful things? Here’s what we’ve been using the Sketch MCP server for ↓ skt.ch/UXSI1bz

We’re kicking off the year with four new features — starting with previews! With previews, you can choose the pages and prototypes you want to share with clients, while keeping the rest of your document private. 🧵↓

   Sketch 🤝 Claude Great with an MCP server We shipped our MCP server back in October last year. Here are five (of many!) things we’ve been using it for 🧵 ↓ (We’re big Claude Code fans here, but you can use any MCP-compatible client)

One of the nice things about being a Not Huge™ company is chatting to y’all more! Last year we set up a small Discord server to do just that, and we’re opening up invites for a while. Come chat to us, share your feedback and get the odd sneak preview of what we’re woking on → discord.gg/maw7XaMqv3

It’s 2026, and if you’re looking for a new design tool… hi! If you’re new here, or you’ve been away for a while, here’s what we’ve been shipping and what you get with Sketch. First up — the editor (which got a big redesign in 2025, btw). 🧵 ↓

📣 Just like last week, we’re taking a short break to welcome the new year with our family and friends. We’ll be back on 2 January. Thanks so much for your support this year — we can’t wait to share what we’ve got lined up for 2026.

📣 We’ll be taking a short break over the next couple of days to be with our family and friends. We’ll be back on 26 December. If you’re celebrating Christmas, we hope it’s a peaceful and happy one.

I was going to write some joke about wrapping in stacks and wrapping presents for Christmas but I can’t bring myself to do it. Stacks can wrap in Sketch now, even if they’re vertical stacks. Go check it out. That’s it. That’s the post.

You can request ONE feature for us to work on in 2026. What are you requesting?

Small-ish update out now with: plenty of bug fixes (thanks for the reports!) and a few neat improvements — including this one @ja.mt suggested.

asking works more often than you think :) thanks @sketch.com 🤎

IYMI, our latest update brings one-click image background removal. It’s all done locally, on your device, using Apple’s Vision APIs. Super handy for quickly cutting out…well, anything.

To all of you who ever asked if we could offer a way to link to an individual page or frame in a document: you’re welcome.

With our latest update, you can organize your Workspace in any way you want. Projects and Collections are now simply folders. You can nest them infinitely, and call them anything you like. Just don’t go for: Final ↳ Final ↳ ↳ Final ↳ ↳ ↳ Final v2 ↳ ↳ ↳ ↳ FINAL THIS ONE

Sometimes you’ve gotta let @rafa.design roll out the green screen and talk about his favorite Sketch updates. Is it entertaining? Yes. Is it informative? Yes. Will we be asking him again? Absolutely.

ICYMI we just shipped a big redesign — and an all-new Inspector. It’s a complete write that we started earlier in the year. It meant we could do things like break out the color picker into its own panel and give color variables a much more prominent home. But there’s more! 🧵

Here’s a neat new feature in our big redesign — focus mode. It filters the layer list to show only the layers you’ve selected, their container(s) and any siblings. If you’ve got a busy canvas, this is going to stop you scrolling for miles in the Layer List.
