About Sketch
Sketch ships named seasonal releases while extending its web app and courting AI agents.
Sketch is on a named-release cadence — Dublin (2026.1) and now Edinburgh (2026.2) — with interim maintenance builds in between. Recent work clears long-standing feature requests (selection colors, independent borders, corner smoothing, a new eyedropper) and adds multi-paste, perceptual gradients, and symbol performance. Parallel investment is going into the web app's developer-handoff tools and a skills repo for AI agents that work with Sketch.
