What is Lunacy?

Lunacy is an advanced vector graphic application designed for UI/UX and web design, boasting impressive speed compared to Figma and enhanced intelligence over Sketch.

It's completely free to use for both personal and commercial projects, allowing users to access its full range of features without any cost.

The application is cross-platform, seamlessly functioning on Windows, macOS, and Linux systems.

With real-time collaboration capabilities, users can effortlessly work together on the same design, regardless of their operating platform.

Lunacy has low system requirements, making it accessible for users with moderate laptops to run the software smoothly without performance issues.

It comes equipped with an impressive array of built-in graphics, including icons, photos, and illustrations to elevate design projects.

Additionally, the app offers a suite of AI-powered tools such as a background remover, image upscaler, avatar generator, and text generator, enhancing the creative process.

Users have the flexibility to work both online and offline, choosing between cloud and local documents, with the ability to switch modes as needed.

For those familiar with Sketch or Figma, Lunacy offers a minimal learning curve, allowing for a smooth transition into its interface.

It fully supports Sketch files, enabling users to open, edit, and save their work without hassle.

Thanks to its native compatibility with the Sketch format, Lunacy integrates well with popular hand-off and version control tools like Avocode, Zeplin, Abstract, and Simpli, providing a comprehensive design experience.

If needed, users can also easily import .sketch files into Figma or Adobe XD, ensuring versatility in their design workflow.

This makes Lunacy not only a powerful design tool but also a flexible solution for teams looking to streamline their collaborative efforts in the creative process.

    Very happy with Lunacy so far. I've yet to use advanced features like components but overall so far I'm more than satisfied.

    Amazing free SVG editor

    Date: Oct 15 2023
    Summary

    It's a really great program with tons of features and AI integrations, I really can't believe it's free but it easily rivals the likes of Adobe Illustrator and Inkscape.

    Positive

    Literally, everything, especially that it's available for Linux and not just Windows and Mac. It's a great app! I also love the free publish-to-web feature!

    Negative

    It doesn't have the feature that Adobe Illustrator has to move object by reference point, but aside from that there are none.

    Excellent UI/UX Design Software

    Date: Oct 25 2023
    Summary

    It's an ideal open-source software. Easy to use, not burdening my laptop's system, and it is equipped with many features, like the icons and styles set. Very recommended.

    Positive

    Lunacy is easy to navigate and use. I run the software using Windows 7 and it's still smooth sailing :)

    Negative

    Rarely, there's some bug (usually from the recent update) that affected the whole canvas of Lunacy. But after changing to another version (either the older one right before or waiting for the newer one to come out), it works well again. Thank you.

    Excellent program

    Date: Feb 16 2022
    Summary

    I have yet to delve into the program but it seems very modern and well done. Well integrated and focuses on the essentials but in a complete way.

    Positive

    I'm still studying the great tutorial but the program looks excellent. I have tried it on Windows and Linux.

    Negative

    It would be great for Android too. It would be possible to use with pencil.

    Review

    Date: Apr 22 2022
    Summary

    I recommend this app for designers or for those who are at the beginning. I think there is no need for watching tutorials as You go step by step through each button and menu to see their functionality.

    Positive

    HTML Preview is an excellent feature that I have no see anywhere.
    There is a response for every subject I am interested in,
    An important one is that I have icons and illustrations for free, and I love this.

    Negative

    I have no cons to mention. There would have been one, but I managed to solve.

    Great App

    Date: Feb 02 2022
    Summary

    A great app, especially if you can't afford a Mac and you need to work with Sketch files.
    Might need some polishing but overall very easy to use and bug free.

    Positive

    I like the fact that you can use it on Windows and the transition from Sketch to Lunacy is seamless.

    Negative

    The zoom command sometimes is sketchy, for example you press to zoom in and it zooms out to 10%.
    Sometimes a file can't be opened.

    Great alternative to other UI package

    Date: May 05 2022

    - Many clever workflow
    - it's free (from now :) )

    Beginner artist.

    Date: Mar 29 2022
    Summary

    Easy to pick up and learn. Fun opening tutorial. I don't have a lot of experience with other software, but for a free tool I highly recommend giving it a try. I was able to create a simple splash page and thumbnail for my youtube channel within a few hours. Layers and grouping are easy, and gradients are intuitive and more customizable than I expected.

    Positive

    Simple interface.
    In depth tutorials and help.
    Free.
    The layers can be drag and drop arranged and renamed easily.
    Nice selection of stock icons to use for free as long as you cite the source.

    Negative

    Some options are harder to find(Like flip vertical/horizontal) and the web help sections seems to be for older versions.
    I wish the vertex curve handles could go down to single handle mode.

    Amazing for a first time using graphic design, incredibly easy to use and entertaining. DYI vibes. Amazing product for first timers and can be really immersive, even friends recommend this app.

    Positive

    Intro tutorial, easy to use, vast amount of items and customization. Great features that make it easy to immerse yourself without having to think too much about what you are making, just let your mind run wild. For first timers in design it makes the job so easy.

    Developer says: First snappy software since YEARS!

    Date: Jun 14 2022
    Summary

    If it would be open source, I would make me a tattoo on my left cheek. Providing such an awesome and stable tool for free is very much appreciated. Thank you for being a good player.

    Positive

    The usability is excellent. The performance is top-notch. This already sounds like a bought vote but it is:
    As an old PS7 user I do not have to remember anything. Shortcuts are superb. The aligning is.... what I always wanted.
    Shows CSS-Code.
    Imports pictures and icons from icons8.
    Does not connect to the internet
    It's so freaking fast.

    Negative

    The UI on the left is too big.
    It would be nice If there would be a f-key-shortcut to hide the toolbars.
    I have only 1280x720 px size, but guess I'm not a designer.

    Wow, the face tattoo is definitely a first one for us – thank you so much for the praise! You can hide left panel and toolbar from the 'View' tab by unchecking them and also shrink the content tab by dragging its right border to the left However, we agree that it'll be much easier to do this with a shortcut. I'll pass your suggestion to our team and we'll see what we can do about adding new hotkeys!

    Date: Mar 09 2022
    Summary

    12 out of 10 would recommend.
    I'm a bit confused as to how I just luckily stumbled across this instead of it being recommended or seen advertised.

    Positive

    Took minutes to get a handle on the UI, for once I didn't end up back at the tutorial looking for answers.
    I could gush over this for days, the authors of this deserve a big round of applause.

    Negative

    Ive had some bugs, that were promptly managed by support.
    Full Disclosure my package dependency trees prolly missing a few branches or at least crossing branches threw a mix of cross-distro bloat packages my late nights tend to land me experimenting with, Its a miracle anything really works at all..

    The Best UI Design Tool Out There, and Free

    Date: Mar 10 2022
    Summary

    This is probably the best tool out there for UI design and prototyping. While it lacks some features, it is definitely the best to prototype your UI.

    Positive

    It's free.
    It's feature-rich.
    It's easy to grasp.
    It is a reasonable software, you do not fight with its logic.

    Negative

    It takes too long on launch on Linux desktop.
    The documentation is not clear.
    There's no Flutter or React export. It is just for prototyping.

    It's great to hear that kind of praise for Lunacy! We're aware that launch takes a bit longer than it should on some Linux versions – we're already working on fixing it. The documentation is getting updated all the time – we hope that it will become more clear soon! We'll also look into the possibility of adding Flutter and React export, but I should mention that Lunacy actually has CSS export.
