If you’ve been interested in an MCP server for Sketch, you should probably check out sketch.com/beta right now…

Yes, the new toolbar has The Glass. It’s got some other neat tricks, too. We’ll save those details for the big reveal. This redesign is so nearly ready, beta dropping very soon.

How it started: “Hey @mmarfil.com, can you draw some new icons for the Tahoe update?” How it’s going: There are 775 new icons in Sketch now. We’re incredibly close to sharing this update with you! Thanks for your patience while we sweat the small stuff.

ICYMI: Our macOS redesign update is almost ready, but not quite! While you’re waiting, here’s a preview of a few improvements we’ve made to the layer list.

There are soooooo many ways you can use progressive blur. Seriously. Not convinced? Okay, fine. Here’s a Sketch doc with a bunch of demos we made for an announcement video when we shipped this in Sketch ↓ skt.ch/rsJEAHf

macOS Tahoe is out today, but where’s Sketch? Well, here’s your answer… (sound on)

Obscura is one of the most beloved camera apps on iOS — and now their creator @benricem.bsky.social has launched something new: Obscura Studio. It’s a standalone photo editor that’s fast, minimal, and #MadeWithSketch. Read the full piece 👉 skt.ch/YmnSLvy

Y’all have tried setting your corners to auto in the latest Sketch update, right? Look, if you really need convincing, here’s a doc with all the demos we made for the video we shared last week. Play around with them and feel that magic for yourself! ↓ skt.ch/yR62U5X

Here’s a document with most of the demos we created for the glass launch video, in case you fancy seeing how we made them → skt.ch/RZVc42m (You’ll need our Barcelona update to open it, of course.)

🌿 hola 〜 @sketch.com recently launched a new version including a lot of new and exciting features 〜 the web app now includes fresh dedicated panels with better information hierarchy to improve the handoff experience ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و 💛 ↓

Our next major update is here — and it’s got glass in it. Yep, that glass. Non-solid, lowercase-G glass. It works right out of the box (as all glass should?) but you can also tweak every parameter. It’s a lot of fun. And that’s not all! ↓

working on a small collection of button styles in @sketch.com. Let me know if you want access to the file once it's done. I still remember years ago how I used to dig through other people's files to learn how to do certain things/effects. So maybe it will be useful for someone still today

Frames within frames within frames within fra… If you’re getting to grips with Frames, we’ve got a tutorial doc to help! Open this one in Sketch and we’ll give you a quick lesson. skt.ch/EhROxKg

Not every app yells at you to move. Gentler Streak uses your Apple Watch data to nudge you (kindly) in the right direction. Check out the full episode on YouTube: skt.ch/tl4

ICYMI — we shipped Stacks about a month ago, and while the best time to try Stacks was a month ago, the second best time is now. Here’s @cjdowner.com with a walkthrough ↓

now in beta: 🫨 progressive blur 🔍 liquid glass 🎯 concentric corners

That glass you’ve all been talking about? It’s available now in our latest beta. Take it for a spin and let us know what you think! And that’s not all… 🧵↓

This week’s tutorial from @raphaellopesph.bsky.social‬ is on liqui…fractal glass! If you want to play along, you’re going to need the latest beta (skt.ch/beta) with progressive blurs. Let’s go! 🧵 ↓

Did someone actually run around Apple Park? Yep. Andrej tells us why in our latest Talking Layers episode. Check it out on YouTube:  skt.ch/tl4

Wrapping your head around Stacks? Not sure how to make the most of them? Do we have a tutorial doc for you! Open this document in Sketch and we’ll walk you through the basics of Stacks. (P.S. “Wrapping” may or may not be a hint about a future update.) skt.ch/bsr4lcm

It’s been a while since we’ve posted a tutorial… so here’s one from ‪@raphaellopesph.bsky.social‬ on using progressive blurs in UI (they’re available in skt.ch/beta btw). Let’s dive in! ↓🧵

New Talking Layers episode just landed 🎙 @rafa.design chats with Katarina and Andrej from @gentler.app‬ about designing with empathy, using health data in meaningful ways, and what goes into building an award-winning app. Watch the full episode ↓ skt.ch/tl4

We promised a beta with progressive blurs today — and it’s available right now! Download it from skt.ch/beta or open your current build and follow the update prompts. But, that’s not the whole story with this release… 🧵

We’re all caught up on #WWDC25 and ready to get to work, right? Here’s an iOS 26 UI Library from Apple to get you started ↓ skt.ch/ios26 (But that’s not all! 🧵)

Watching along, and excited for what’s next! #WWDC25

Friends at #WWDC — if you bump into @rafa.design, say hi! We sent him off with a bunch of Sketch stickers and pin badges. He’ll give you one if you ask!

If you’ve been enjoying the new Command Bar updates, you might like this blog post from @bxtr.me‬ when he gets into all the neat little details about them. And if you didn’t know about the Command Bar updates, well, now you do! skt.ch/command-bar-...

It wouldn’t be @sketch.com if we just settled on giving you start/end stops for progressive blur. How about as many stops as you want, + 3 blur types (linear, radial, diagonal)? All of that dropping *real* soon. 👀 @raphaellopesph.bsky.social for cool examples of how powerful this will be.

started to play with it yesterday, endless fun!

And if you think you’ll be waiting long to try this… nope!

Have you ever wished it was easier to find, insert and swap components in Sketch? Have you ever wanted to do that all from your keyboard? Have you ever wondered if the Command Bar could be expanded? Well, so have we! Here’s what we did about it in Athens ↓

Ready to go deep on Frames and Graphics? No, really, are you ready? Because we’ve got a blog post that does just that. @paulo.is covers everything from why we built them, to how to adapt to them, and everything in between. Grab a coffee for this one, seriously → skt.ch/frames

Feeling so old rn.

Alright, there’s a lot of talk about Stacks in our Athens update, but that’s not all we shipped! We needed a new container for Stacks, so we’ve built Frames. And because we care about icons and illustration, we built another — Graphics. Here’s everyone’s favorite @rafa.design with a walkthrough ↓

ICYMI, we shipped Stacks yesterday. But why now? And why even use them? @cjdowner.com has those questions (and more!) covered on the blog → skt.ch/stacks

Some details from @ramses.work on how our handoff tools support stacks. Box model preview, flex CSS output, all in any browser — and dev seats are free!

Lots of good little details about Stacks, Frames and Graphics in this release. Thanks for picking up on this one, Nathan!

In today’s @sketch.com update, we’ve added Frame as a container type, which is a long overdue no-brainer — but we’ve also added a Graphic container. Graphics aren’t the standout in this update, but to me they’re the most interesting story to tell. So, here’s why graphics exist 🧵

Remember when we said auto layout was coming to Sketch? It’s here. It’s called Stacks, and it’s part of our biggest release ever — out now. There’s a lot to cover, so buckle up and we’ll take you on a tour. Also, stick around for a surprise at the end of the thread. 👀 Let’s go ↓

🌸 お久しぶり！recently we've been iterating on a few bits of the web app for @sketch.com 〜 new typeface + icons, updated workspace creation & a bunch of polish on credential views 〜 ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡

Go get ‘em, Tiger! (I’m trying my best here, it’s Friday.)

Y’all tried the beta yet? We’re busy collecting feedback, making tweaks and preparing for the final release. Definitely interested in how you’re finding Stacks and Frames if you have a moment to take it for a spin!

we‘ve got a new @sketch.com beta with a *ton* of new stuff: stacks, frames, graphics, components in the command bar, comments panel! plus… auto pinning, sizing options, paste and replace, swap fills and borders, container-relative coordinates, and more! → download and changelog: sketch.com/beta

We’ve been talking about bringing stacks (our take on auto layout) to Sketch for a while now. Well, now it’s in beta and ready for you to try: sketch.com/beta Take it for a spin and let us know what you think!

Thinking of our friends at Duolingo at this sad time.

Me whenever we get tagged in a “You should switch to Sketch” post

Update: This one is now available to test → skt.ch/beta. Enjoy!

Since our Stacks sneak peek went down so well, we asked @bxtr.me to give you another! This time, it’s some big improvements to inserting and swapping Components using the Command Bar. Some are in beta now, the rest are coming soon Full details on the forum: skt.ch/ZqNp0l4 youtu.be/Ypwq9Tn2nGg

Happy 25th birthday to the Aqua UI, our very own Roman Empire. You still look as good as the day you were born. Thanks to @kylehalevi.com for reproducing all of its best moments in Sketch!

📣 Just like last week, we’ll be taking a couple more days off to see in the new year with our family and friends. Back again on 2 January. Thanks for all your support this year, we’re excited to show you what we’ve been planning for 2025!
