A suite of Sketch App plugins for faster design workflows, including color swapping, pattern fills, typography tools, and layer manipulation.
Efficiency is a suite of plugins for Sketch App that automates common design tasks to speed up workflows. It includes tools for swapping colors, converting images to pattern fills, enhancing typography, and manipulating layers with random effects. The project solves the problem of repetitive, manual operations in Sketch by providing keyboard shortcuts and specialized functions.
UI/UX designers and graphic artists who use Sketch App regularly and want to optimize their design process with faster tools and shortcuts.
Developers choose Efficiency because it adds missing features from Sketch, like Illustrator-style color swapping and advanced typography controls, while reducing manual work through automation and intuitive shortcuts.
