Sketch
Sketch is a macOS design app for creating user interfaces, vector graphics, and interactive prototypes for websites and apps.
What is Sketch?
Sketch is a native macOS graphics and interface design app used to create user interfaces, icons, illustrations, and clickable prototypes. It is aimed at product designers, UI teams, freelancers, and developers who need to plan and communicate the structure and look of websites, mobile apps, and desktop software. The app combines vector editing tools with reusable symbols, shared libraries, styles, and layout features that help teams build consistent design systems. It also supports prototyping, design handoff, commenting, and document sharing through Sketch’s connected workspace features. Many users choose Sketch for screen design workflows that stay close to the Mac desktop experience while still supporting collaboration with teammates and stakeholders. Sketch is published by Bohemian Coding and is commonly used in professional product design workflows on Mac.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
Sketch is legitimate design software for macOS. It normally accesses the files you choose to open or save, and collaboration features may sync documents, comments, and shared libraries through your Sketch workspace. That behavior is expected for a design tool. If you work with confidential client material, review your workspace sharing settings and export options before sharing files or prototypes.
Recommendation: Keep Sketch if you use it for interface design, prototyping, or reviewing shared design files. Remove it only if you no longer need the app or its local project files, and expect any Sketch-specific workflows, plugins, or shared workspace access on this Mac to stop once it is gone.
