Many designers are quickly jumping ship from Adobe Photoshop into the wonderful realm of Sketch. This digital design program for OS X provides better tools for UI design, icon design, and offers pixel+vector support in one program. This has lead to a surge in popularity for freebies released by Sketch designers.
Anyone familiar with the freebie marketplace knows that UI kits are some of the most popular resources for interface design work. I’ve compiled this selection of free Sketch UI kits for websites and mobile apps. Every kit is free to download and should work with any version of Sketch. Feel free to grab anything that catches your eye and see if you can put these interface kits to good use.

Dark & Light UI Kit
Here’s a unique kit that suits a wider audience with a dark and light background style. This kit focuses more on page widgets rather than simple elements, so you’ll find many more obscure items like loading bars and media players.

The Pearl UI kit follows a very simple flat design with basic page elements.Buttons, input fields, accordions, and tabs are just a few of the options at your disposal. If you’re brand new to sketch then this kit might be useful to help you deconstruct how to design your own kit.
Landing Page Layouts
This rather obscure freebie works best during the wireframing stage. These layouts are not fully rendered in Sketch, instead offering low-fidelity layouts with static block elements. The colors, shapes, and positioning of these layouts shouldhelp every UI designer to better understand the wireframing process.
Web App UI Set
A very simple UI kit based around the theme of Tesla motor vehicles, this freebie is much more detailed than the rest. You do have access to simple buttons but also have more complex interface items like a detailed table list and a calendar widget.
Flexible UI Kit

This Bootsketch kit has vector elements for every Bootstrap element in existence. This makes it super easy to create Bootstrap-themed mockups in Sketch without even touching the browser.
