Streamline your workflow with a graphics editor packed full of smart features and built-in assets! Lunacy comes out of beta with ver. 5.0; packed with brand new features, performance, and smarts.
We are dropping our latest release of Lunacy –v5.0– and with it the beta label. The Lunacy editor has been in development for the last few years as an immature product, but now we are excited to call it an official release. 🥂
Lunacy is a full-featured design tool for Windows that lets you work with (and save) Sketch files the without lock-in associated with Figma or Adobe XD. As a native app it can take advantage of your computers GPU and works great offline as well.
A few of the new features:
- Stability and performance have been dramatically improved.
- AI-powered background removal ✂️
- New smart features save you time on repetitive tasks like rounding corners, creating placeholder content, and making shapes.
- Full UI kits integrated
- Text and layer style library
- Symbol and hotspot overrides to reduce symbol duplication
- Get ultra-fine 4K assets just by clicking ‘supersize it’
- Icon, photo, or illustration assets can now be individually purchased. Best of all, most are just $1! This is great news for those who do not want to buy a full Icons8 Pro license, but still need high-quality graphics from time-to-time.* Being 100% free, asset purchases enable us to continue the development of Lunacy 🙂.
…and of course we squashed a serious number of bugs, nearly ~1k!
We would love to share some of the things you make with it, just use #MadeWithLunacy
*Note: Some features are only available in the Lunacy version from the Microsoft Store. If you are using a direct-download version we suggest grabbing this new release from the MS Store!
Think of Lunacy like Sketch+Canva, but made as a performant native Windows app. Oh, and it is *completely* free! No tracking user data or shady tactics involved. 🙅♂️
It's been a pleasure to see how Lunacy is growing and giving more and more to the users. Now it's a solid tool for both pro and beginners in design - and with all that it's free. Looking forward to seeing what's ahead.
A worrying trend we have seen lately is how Adobe XD, Figma, and other design tools are moving towards locking teams into their products by not allowing projects to be easily exported. This lock-in is very easy to fall into as the tools start off as free and only require payment to work with teammates. This can end up fragmenting small teams or indie projects.
With Lunacy we do not split teammates up. We connect them. Sketch files can be opened, worked on, and saved without any special process. Windows and Mac users can finally work on the same project from different products.
Fantastic that it's free. Looking at your landing page and there are 2 small things that you might find helpful - https://app.usebubbles.com/39b3f... -- let me know if this helps.
Have been already loving using Lunacy. It's helped immensely since our our team's working from both Windows and Mac at the moment. So excited to see all the improvements. Keep up the great work!
@minjie_shi we don't have it. It's a native app, not JavaScript with the Electron wrapper, so it's going to be hard. The good news there's Sketch - the fastest you can get on Mac.
@ivan_braun I see. Anyway, by looking at the thing you have shown, it is pretty good. Keep up with great work! If there is Mac version coming up, feel free to let us know in the PH community.
@eldar_ui intentionally, virtually all existing tools; we need to know what's on the market.
The special mention goes to Whimsical — a great, great little tool. Example: https://whimsical.com/YRDXDepKYp...
