Lunacy is a simple, user-friendly, and accessible tool for creating layouts of web pages, vector art, static advertising banners, and other graphic products where accuracy, precise positioning of objects, and design rigor are required.

The program has vector drawing tools, tools for working with typography, a guide function, and a large set of ready-made icons, photos, and illustrations. It has a sketch format, so it works with files made in the more famous Sketch program. This software is available for Windows.

What is this program?

Lunacy is a free native Windows application to open, edit, and save .sketch files. The primary features of the program include the following:

• Reading .sketch files of any version;

• Automatic loading of missing fonts from Google Fonts;

• Saving sources in CDN;

• Saving the changed file in .sketch format.

Interface

Lunacy for Windows has a user-friendly and intuitive interface. It consists of the following elements:

• Adding objects. This panel contains tools for selecting the type of object you want to apply to the workspace. This can be text, an outline figure, an arrow, an arbitrarily drawn figure, or an image. You can edit the nodes of a figure. The bottom button on this panel is designed for adding a new workspace;

• A workspace called Artboard. This space is filled with your objects. There may be many Artboards on an unlimited canvas;

• An object tree. It is a user-friendly navigator for your project. When you select a thing in this tree, it is also selected in the workspace and vice versa. You can set the Artboard as the parent object and the Page as its parent;

• Operations. When an object is selected, you can perform some functions using the buttons on the top panel, e.g., to switch to node editing mode. You can also adjust the appearance of the workspace with a grid, ruler, layout, or other tools in this panel. Group operations are scattered on different boards (you will see the hints when you put the mouse cursor over them);

• Object properties. When an object is selected, this right panel displays its properties with the ability to edit them. There are many properties, so you must scroll the panel with the mouse wheel to see them.

What's great about this software?

Every element is convenient in this program, but many business graphics, prototyping, and layout applications have similar features. That's why we will describe the competitive advantages:

• The program is entirely free;

• The program has a large set of icons, quality photos (including those with transparent backgrounds), and plot illustrations for quick insertion into your projects. These features can be found in the Library section. Library materials are grouped by theme. In the new versions of the program, the Library is fixed in the new left vertical panel;

• The program allows you to see and copy the code of the selected object to the clipboard in CSS, SVG, and XAML formats. This is a handy feature for professionals working with the design of applications;

• The developer company is highly respected. This company is called Icons8 and is notable for its other high-quality products.

Valuable features of the program

• Components. These are reusable objects. Suppose you're preparing several video design forms in different Artboards. The same button must be on them, so you should create it once as a component. Then you can multiply that component button across different Artboards. If you change the style of the main element, the type of reproduced parts of this button will also change. If you change the type of an instance of a piece, only that component will change;

• Prototyping. This is setting the interactivity on the object. For example, a click on a button can be followed by the action of switching to another Artboard or figure;

• A hotspot. It has similar functionality to prototyping, except that a hotspot is an invisible area that can be clicked to go to another Artboard.

Where is this program used?

This program is designed to create and prototype mobile and web application interfaces. It also has various screen layouts for typical applications, such as graphics for social networks.

This tool is truly versatile. You can create your own objects based on vector technology, use ready-made sets of things for various applications, and customize and adapt ready-made elements for specific uses.

Working with any object includes complete coverage of its capabilities through a complex system of settings. The built-in generator of faces according to given parameters is another exciting feature of this program.

Among the program's most essential features, there is also a powerful mechanism for combining built-in object libraries and the ability to create new objects and ways to use them.

For example, you can select the desired object and immediately get its code in different languages. CSS, XAML, and SVG are supported. The program also has a presentation mode to make creating and viewing your projects more convenient.

Like in all programs of this class, the program interface is complicated at first glance, but it is well-thought-out, logically organized, and intuitive. An experienced user can quickly master it.

The program is compatible with all significant competing design products for opening and saving file formats. All major graphic formats are also available for export.
