About Adobe XD
Adobe XD is Adobe's UI/UX design and prototyping tool. Development has effectively wound down as Adobe shifted focus, which is why many teams are migrating to Figma or Penpot — but existing files and workflows still work.
About Sketch
Sketch is the Mac-native design tool that defined modern UI design workflows. It remains beloved for its polish and offline-first approach, with web-based collaboration added through Sketch Workspaces. One-time-style licensing per editor.
