Design tools and design assets live their own lives. Tools know nothing about content. Creators have to search for visuals scattered all over the web. Lunacy 4.0 solves this problem making software and content work together. In this version, the editor provides integration of the visual content: - Illustrations from the top Dribbble artists - 100,000+ icons in 22 styles - Masked photos - 24,000+ photos in a consistent, light, Kinfolk-inspired style. So, now it’s Sketch for Windows but also with diverse built-in assets. As well, it offers: - GPU rendering for speed - symbols, effects, avatars - presentation mode - ability to set the workspace color - project shadow copy: keep calm your work is safe - better experience for processing text content Also, we are updating Lunacy to help designers simplify repetitive operations (you know, tons of the same buttons, tabs and all that stuff).
Masked images are great, I love that.
I envy some of my Icons8 colleagues: I am on Mac, and can't use it. Using a bunch of other tools to create images for social media pages. And now when they can add our photos and illustrations to the design right in the tool, I envy even more :D
what are the free tools available for Mac for designing ?
I have been using Inkscape, Snappa (this on is not free though); there are also Pixlr and Canva (has free options), but I haven't stuck to any of these two.
thanks for sharing 🙂
Is it more like Canva or Figma?
It's like Figma but with ready to use the content on board.
Maker
good question. Short answers: a bit like both. Much more powerful than Canva Unlike Canva, our assets are atomic: we don't have ready templates templates, but we integrate , photos.icons8.com, and . Less powerful than Figma! However, compatible with .sketch (including saving) and (did I said it before?) has designer assets.
Figma. Though it also can be used like Canva :)
Looks super awesome. But what about Mac users?
Maker
I'd love to. My friends are making jokes of me, creating a design tool and ignoring Mac. It's hard though. We're a native app and we'll have to rewrite the UI from the scratch (like 30% of the code). Meantime, Mac designers have Sketch on their sleek MacBooks. We work for underprivileged. We work for Windows.
Whats new in this update?

Hi Aaron, the main thing is integration of icons, photos, and illustrations. Just added the maker's comment with all the details :)

I've been using Lunacy since version 2.0 and that's awesome to see how it is growing and extending its functionality. The images of all kinds integrated right into the editor present a great boost for faster work. Look forward to new updates, congrats to the team!

Pros:

The integration of design assets is a cool way to make my work much more productive. For free!

Cons:

Nothing to focus on

I love this product because I'm a Windows user and I need a free tool for graphic design, you know. Lunacy is a good solution for that.

Pros:

I think it's the best alternative to Sketch app for Windows.

Cons:

Lunacy has few little bugs, just fix them.

Wow from just seeing the YouTube video I'm quite impressed. This could definitely be a Canva competitor as well as a Figma competitor.
Shadow copy! It should be in every app. Life will be easier with this feature.
Interesting idea and nice way of execution. Do you guys have plans to extend these libraries to Sketch on Mac as well ?
Maker
Mac - yes, though unlike Figma, we're a native app and we'll have to rewrite the UI from the scratch (like 30% of the code). Sketch — I'm not quite sure how to do it. A plugin... I don't know, maybe we should add photos and vector illustrations to our . What do you think?
