  1. Visit our release page and download a preferred version of the Mac app onto the device or download the latest one automatically.
  2. Once the download is completed, install the app by dragging the Sketch icon to the Applications folder.
  3. Launch the Mac app and click the Sign In… button. If you don’t have a Sketch account, click the Start Free 30-day Trial button to create one and enjoy Sketch free for 30 days.
  4. Enter your Email Address and Password combination and click on the Sign In button.

If you used Sketch with a Mac-only license before, you must unlink it. Launch the Mac app, head to Sketch > Settings from the menu bar, navigate to the Account tab, and select Unlink Device. Alternatively, access the License Manager and remove all devices using the Unlink option.

Note: You can also download the Mac app directly from the web app. Sign in to the web app, at the bottom of the left sidebar click on Help > Get Sketch for Mac.

If you need a new version of Sketch, Sign in to the Mac app and select Sketch > Check for Updates > Install Update from the menubar.

If you have a Mac-only license, please refer to these steps on how to register with your license key.
