almost 7 years ago from Jordan Simpson, UX/UI Designer and Front End Developer
I have decided to take the plunge to move from Photoshop to Sketch, primarily for the fact that Craft by InVision seems to be focusing more towards Sketch.
My question is whether anyone has any recommendations for plugins that have improved their workflow within Sketch?
You won't look back. Here's my plugins (I keep this list up to date): https://www.evernote.com/l/AAFW182SVnxCT6wvr2_cxXD6eFyVArUhVwc
Wow, now that looks like a lot to get my teeth into, thank you. SketchRunner looks awesome as already use Alfred so something with a similar functionality is a winner in my eyes.
Oh! you got many useful on sketch. I like your list and I used almost plugins from your list, but something good news for me. Thanks.
Oh man thanks so much! I love the comments plugin! Been doing this manually like an idiot this whole time.
My must have plugin list:
Sketch Runner Alfred for Sketch. Sketch on steroids!
Sketch Measure Measuring made easy. Spec export. Genius!
MoveIt Move objects like in Adobe Illustrator using x and y offsets.
RenameIt Renaming multiple layers or group at once. Find and replace is also a must-have while renaming.
Craft A big „Plugin-System“ including: Duplicating Content, Content-Generators (Images, Headlines, Paragraphs, Dates, …), Librarys for UI Elements (a bit like Adobes CC Library)
MagicMirror Automatically mirror screen designs in mockups.
Relable Button Easily change the text of a button while respect its paddings.
Sort Me Reordering your layers or groups.
All of these plugins I use daily and highly recommend them ;)
Do you know if Sketch Runner can insert layers from the Craft Library the same way it does for Symbols?
I'm afraid that isn't possible as far as I know. Would be quite handy though.
It's the most essential reason to use Sketch Runner imo. Hope the introduce Craft compatibility in the future
I just made Butter, a plugin to butt your layers together. It has proved popular already in the community.
Sketch Align make everything looks neat and clean. ✌
A new favorite. Came in handy a few times. https://github.com/mscodemonkey/Sketch-Find-And-Replace
Here is a plugin to help keep your symbols page organized: https://github.com/sonburn/symbol-organizer
Here's a good one: https://designcode.io/sketch-plugins
Shared Text Styles. Plugin to easily import and export your text styles in Sketch. Perfect for teams. http://www.textstyl.es

Tool to convert any webpage into a Sketch artboard - https://medium.com/the-protoship-front-end-newsletter/instantly-convert-any-webpage-into-a-sketch-artboard-570e1ebbad2#.kf3l53s32
Any plugin that will move layers 8px instead of 10px when holding down shift?
Give this a try: http://nudg.it/
everyone talk about some but I like Content Generator Sketch Plugin https://github.com/timuric/Content-generator-sketch-plugin
Sketch Guides quick way to place guides at the top/bot/left/right/center H/center V of an object. You can also set these to keyboard shortcuts!
SVGO Compressor is pretty helpful. It's even better when combined with Ben De Cock's updated settings.
I made a plugin for easy artboard and iOS, Android asset export. It is a part of a bigger bundle.
Thanks for all the recommendations. Have any of you had experience with Git within Sketch? https://github.com/mathieudutour/git-sketch-plugin Any good or are there issues I should be aware of before starting to use it?
if you're working with icon fonts, you can consider to use this one https://github.com/keremciu/sketch-iconfont
