Before you install any plugin, install Sketch Runner.

It's the plugin that installs/updates plugins and does nearly everything else as well.

Use Every Project

• Autolayout (Seriously, just magical.)
• Craft (Auto-populating data)
• Zeplin (Exporting Design)
• Prism (Auto Generating Color)
• Random Ipsum (Large bodies of text)
• Symbol Organizer (Ordering and cleaning up symbols)
• Overview Artboard (Put artboards within a bigger artboard)
• Golden Ratio Line Height Generator (Gets the correct line height for a body of text)

One of the things I wish Sketch had was the ability to bring plugins into the Toolbar so that I didn't always have to click on Plugins the sort through a list of unused plugins all the time.

Edit Late entry that I bought today was Magic Mirror. It allows you to create perspectives and transforms. I'd been in desperate need for a tool like this.

No one has mentioned http://nudg.it/

Allows you to set the shit+arrow increments to whatever value you want. Set to 8px for Material design. No more 2px nudging.

• Sketch Runner
• Craft
• FontAwesome
• Find and Replace
• Symbol Organizer

• Brand.ai
• Sketch Runner
• Symbol Organizer

• Craft - Mostly for syncing to Invision and grabbing live content from the web. The library is too buggy to be useful for our team.
• Find & Replace - Downloaded this one cause it seemed useful, then didn't use it for a while. Then yesterday, I needed to replace a phrase throughout some mocks and it totally saved my sanity.
• Nudged - Change the nudge increments. Helpful when you switch between web and mobile often.
• Symbol Organizer - Organizes your symbols and deletes un-used ones.
• User Flows - Automagically adds arrows to show flows from one page to another. You can also auto-generate an artboard to show the overall flow in one view.
• Zeroheight - Just downloaded this one and it seems promising to use for our team library.

• Craft (mostly for syncing with Invision)
• Auto-Layout
• Fluid
• Runner
• MDS Shortcuts (a more intuitive Design Layers)
• Sketch Palettes
• Symbol Organizer

• Auto-Layout by Anima(Make elements stay/change the way you want when resizing, especially work well with symbols)
• Artboard Titles('It is the simplest way to name each artboard before export.')
• Artboard Tricks(Rearrange Artboards)
• Find And Replace(Finds text in selected layer(s) and all layers contained within - and replaces it with different text)
• Rename It
• Sketch Measure
• Swap Styles(Swapping styles between two layers in Sketch! Which small but works great)
• Symbol Organizer(Organize your symbols page alphabetically)
• User FLows(A plugin for generating flow diagrams from Artboards in Sketch. Just tricks!)
• Zeplin
• Craft!!!!(Woooo, fantastic baby.Works well with inVision App)

Have fun!

I also recommend https://github.com/Volorf/Sparkliner — quickly create graphs from .json files & https://github.com/bomberstudios/Cleanup-Useless-Groups — clean up your layer list by removing empty groups and flattening deeply nested groups.

I like to manage my Sketch plugins folder manually so it's easy for me to add, edit, update, or remove them as needed. I created a symlink for the Sketch Plugins folder in my home directory, and I also keep a "Plugins (Disabled)" folder for plugins I'd like to keep but aren't actively using.

People have already mentioned some of the ones that I use regularly, so I'll focus on a few you might not have seen.

• Butter (Easy alignment and spacing)
• Sketch Color Contrast Analyser (Test color combinations for WCAG AA 2.0 Compliance)
• Sketch Replace Colour (Find & replace colors in your document)
• Sketch Palettes (Load and save Document and Global color palettes into the color picker)
• Paster (Paste text directly from the clipboard to text layers)
• RenameIt (Rename multiple layers simultaneously)
• Webalize (Make layer names url-friendly for asset export)
• Sketch Bounding Boxer (Easily show and hide bounding box layers)
• Sketch Modulizer (Auto padding for buttons or modules. There are many plugins based on this concept, but this one works well for me)
• Sketch Plugin Monster (Manage Sketch plugin shortcuts and conflicts—finally!)
• Fontily (Find & replace fonts)
• Clean Up SFUI Type (Automate letterspacing of SFUI at different sizes to simulate native spacing)
• Sketch Truncate Textlines (Truncates the amount of text in a text box and adds an ellipsis)

Sketch Runner Sketch Guides Artboard Tricks Sketch Measure Cover Artboard User Flows

And of course, Auto Layout :P

AutoLayout - Get Automate Sketch: http://ashung.github.io/Automate-Sketch/ it contains functions similar to other plugin and does it a bit better.

StyleDrop (Easily copy styles from one layer to another)

I use the userflows plugin but that's about it. I wish there was an extension like Photoshops Navigator so I can get a birds eye view of the entire document and pan around in there if I need to. Anyone know?

Some that aren't listed:

• Sketch pallettes
• Swap fill border
• Rename layers
• Magic mirror

One of the things I wish Sketch had was the ability to bring plugins into the Toolbar so that I didn't always have to click on Plugins the sort through a list of unused plugins all the time. - Josh Rio

Never thought about it, but this would be amazing.

I'm surprised Sketch Mate hasn't been mentioned yet, some kick ass keyboard shortcuts and mini flows. Eg.

Cmd+alt+R ... instead of paste in place, it also removes the object you had selected

TinyFace & Segmented Circles. + Zeplin of course.

Not a fan of Craft.

below is my plugins

Initially I found FontFinder hugely useful throughout the rebranding process of a Patterns and Standards library I'm currently working on. Although the issue I had with it is that it only works on a Page level. To update fonts throughout an entire document, you might find more value in using Fontily, which I've recently moved to.

Atomic - (export artboards directly to atomic.io)

I try to prune my plugin set as much as possible.

My current sketchpack includes:

• Auto Layout
• Rename It
• SVGO Compressor
• Sort Me
• Zeplin
• Find & Replace
• Select Group Layers
• Checkpoints
• Looper
• Color Contrast Analyzer
• Unsplash It
• Split Divide

You can import my plugins with Sketchpacks that contains all my plugins my version controlled sketchpack at https://gist.github.com/adamkirkwood/cef0ad8e33480e00d597073ebb2795b6

If you like the idea of having the ability to version control plugins at specific version, I suggest Sketchpacks. Also makes sharing your plugins with friends and team mates easy.

I really love this one. Select parent artboards https://github.com/nefaurk/select-parent-artboards

This is also very useful. Find and replace https://github.com/mscodemonkey/Sketch-Find-And-Replace

• Auto-layout
• Map generator
• Tiny faces
• Zeplin
• SVGO
