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.

    Coming from other tools, i am seriously struggling

    Date: Nov 13 2021
    Summary

    • A lot of things are broken.
    • Cannot Cmd + v inside an input
    • The icons are not enough and the current are not that relevant.
    • I saved a file in my cloud. when i reopened the objects were scattered all around the artboard some items like images, text were missing.
    • Sometimes when you click on something it adjusts its position automatically

    Positive

    The addition of Icons, illustration and UI kit section makes it simple to add items while designing.

    Negative

    Kindly see the overall as regards the con of Lunacy.

    Mayowa, thanks for sharing your experience, it matters a lot! We're planning to introduce the Cmd + V fix in Lunacy 8.1. Considering the auto-adjustment, we had a couple reports about it, so this bug is already on our to-do list. What comes to your issue with scattered objects, we'd really appreciate it if you share a screencast of the issue and send us a link to your file to investigate the case. You can reach us in community: https://community.icons8.com Your feedback helps us to make Lunacy better 🌟

    It should be called Madness! I fall in love

    Date: Oct 30 2021
    Summary

    I didn't get any problems after Figma and Sketch. It's very close to them, like a child.
    Even my oldest laptop with AMD A-10 can be used as a host for Lunacy, it's really working.
    I think there is one more problem: not enough guides about Lunacy. I think it's one of the biggest problems for beginners.

    Positive

    1. One app for mac/win/linux
    2. Low hardware usage
    3. Freedom of seeking wifi / Cellular or sitting at home/office like a prisoner
    4. Collaboration without counting seats
    5. Sketch document type
    6. Answering and fast support
    7. It's all for free

    Negative

    1. Plugins are temporarily unavailable.
    2. Not all features I want are onboard.
    3. Crashes sometimes, but not only this app showing such behavior.
    4. Icons/illustrations list is shorter than on-site.

    Cama thanks for such a detailed review and for the 5-star rating! Let me comment on some of your feedback. 1. We closed access to the plugin & scripting features for a while. It needs to redesign these features to make them less OS-dependent. This is a must-have point to erase bounds between platforms. You'll see them back in one of the future releases. 2. You can submit your feature requests or vote for the existing ones on our Lunacy forum here: https://lunatics.icons8.com/ 3. Indeed, crashes are possible. But the good news is that we're trying to fix the critical issues ASAP, and you're most likely to experience a more stable work of Lunacy with new updates. 4. Icons are stored locally so that they could be used offline, that's why their library is a bit smaller. As for illustrations, we're redesigning the style bars in order to reduce CPU load. By the way, do you know that we have a YouTube channel devoted to Lunacy? There you can find some really nice tutorials, created by other Lunacy users.

    It's nice ...

    Date: Jul 17 2021
    Summary

    It's a nice concept.
    Like I said everything ran smoothly.
    I loved how smooth everything was, but I think there's need for improvement here and there.
    But still we need more features.

    Positive

    I loved how smooth everything was , but I think there's need for improvement here and there.
    For example, we can't animate in the software like adobe XD.
    Also, allow for creating a location inside the app where all images user are stored so they can be reused.

    Negative

    I didn't like the fact that there wasn't a phone mockup of sort while I tried to make a ui for Android or other devices.

    Great resources with terrible user-experience

    Date: Dec 09 2021
    Summary

    It turned my face to Figma again. I will use my Freepik account to get illustrations and then manually embed them into Figma,

    Positive

    The illustrations and mockups can easily be embedded into your artwork. This is great if the app could work. I am disappointed every time I update the app.

    Negative

    Lots of bugs. The most basic functions can not be found. There is no information why some buttons are deactivated. Why couldn't I delete an artboard or an illustration?

    Thanks for your review. Wow, we're literally shocked that Lunacy didn't work for you at all. We didn't have many reports on the bugs you refer to, so we'd be really grateful if you share the ones you experienced with more detail in our community https://community.icons8.com Please also specify the version of Lunacy and your full system specs, and attach a screencast of the trouble that occurs. We'll take a closer look to fix whatever that doesn't function right in next releases.

    Summary

    I'm really happy with Lunacy. So much incredible, and the best part that i've liked is how it's simple to make it. Me, as a student of mobile and web development, this helps a lot.
    I'm really grateful with this tool.
    Thanks, Lunacy team. :)

    Positive

    It's very easy to just open it and start to design without any difficulty.
    Great folder organization, and very good icons library.

    Lunacy... where the rest of us are flocking to!

    Updated: Nov 06 2021
    Summary

    I am a Mac user and I am ABSOLUTELY blown-away by Lunacy.
    I am in shock on how flawless the UI appears... crap even after a freeze quit? It jumped right back in.

    And the freeze? Understandable... it was going online to 'number crunch' one of your online tools (remove background from an image). COMPLETELY understandable.

    But the vector tools are why I'm here (not to mention that your add ons like the avatar generator, image enlarger, icon libraries, image libraries, yadda yadda yadda are ever so cool).

    After years and years with Adobe's products (uggh) and having turned to a tool that just works for my vector work (Intaglio — yes Intaglio) I am delighted to have a tool that is the ALL-AROUND goto tool for everything I need:

    Photo bitmaps, Line vectors, pixel perfect prototyping and so on.

    Great Great Work. An Authentic Game Changer. Lightspeed Ahead Of Your Competitors In Many Many Ways.

    Good on you guys!!

    Positive

    Pretty much everything. Just read my sincere 'overall' review below. It offers a first person opinion, as a designer for over 25 years.

    Negative

    Not very much. I would like to find something significant to complain about but it really boils down to one's personal preferences, and in that regard, it's not consequential.

    Was waiting for Linux version

    Date: Nov 03 2021
    Summary

    Pretty Decent Balanced alternate to Figma/Sketch/Adobe XD. Easy To Use even for a Noob Like me. I just casually need to design interfaces before making a site or app.

    Positive

    I used it in windows but ever since I moved to Linux, there was no easy to use solution like this. The notable pros are-
    Easy To Use even for a Noob Like me. I just casually need to design interfaces before making a site or app.
    The Icon library is pretty much everything I need. Some premium icos are there since the publisher is icons8. Overall, great experience

    Negative

    A little more extensibility, like Figma, would go a long way.

    Thanks for your review! It's especially valuable to know your opinion since we haven't received much feedback from Lunacy users yet. As for extensibility, we plan to re-introduce the plugin & scripting features in future releases. Right now we are working on the redesign of these features in order to make them less OS-dependent. It's great that you find the software easy to use. We recommend you to visit our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/LunacyQAteam There you can find quite a few how-to's and tips, that will make your user experience even smoother.
