Replacements
Listings that take over the same core job as Lunacy.
Figma
A collaborative design tool for interfaces, prototypes and product work, used in the browser.
Figma moves UI design to the browser with real-time collaboration and developer handoff, but files live on Figma's service, it needs an account, and team features are paid.
Penpot
Open source, self-hostable design and prototyping platform for teams.
Penpot is free, open source and self-hostable for design and prototyping, keeping files on your own server, though its plugin and template ecosystem is smaller.
Sketch
Mac-only UI design app long favored by product designers.
Sketch is the Mac-only UI design app whose files Lunacy opens, with an established plugin ecosystem, but it requires a paid subscription and has no Windows or Linux version.
