What Types of Design Resources and Templates Does Sketch Repo Categorize?

Updated

Sketch Repo groups its free resources into a small set of browsable categories: mockups (desktop and mobile), icons, UI kits, and a "Misc" section that also holds non-design extras like coloring pages and printable calendars. If you want a device frame, an icon set, or a full app screen kit, you can go straight to that category rather than searching the whole site. The categories are listed in the site's navigation and reflected in the resource titles shown on the homepage.

Mockups: Desktop and Mobile Device Frames

The Mockups category covers device frames you place your design inside to present it in context. The homepage shows both a Desktop Mockups entry and a Mobile entry, and a current example is an iPhone 14 Pro Mockup. In practice, this means you can find frames for showing a desktop layout or a phone screen without building the device chrome yourself.

Icons: Sets and Single-Purpose Packs

The Icons category holds icon sets rather than one-off graphics. A listed example is 56 Arrows Icons, which suggests packs organized around a single visual purpose. If your project needs a consistent arrow or interface icon style, this is the section to check first.

UI Kits: Mobile App Design, E-commerce, and Dashboards

UI Kits is the category for complete interface layouts you can adapt to a new project. The homepage lists several distinct examples:

  • Mobile App Design – Credit Card Checkout
  • E-commerce App UI
  • Online Learning App Kit
  • Sales Monitoring Dashboard Concept

These span checkout flows, shopping apps, education apps, and analytics dashboards, so the category is organized by app type rather than by a single template style.

Misc: Concepts, Illustrations, and Non-Design Extras

The Misc category collects items that don't fit the design-resource buckets above. Current examples include a Super Mario Galaxy movie ticket concept template, a Fantastic Four 2025 symbol, and a Humane Ai Pin illustration. This is also where the site's non-design content lives:

  • Coloring pages, such as Halloween Bluey, Halloween Haunted House, and Halloween coloring pages, plus themed sets like Unicorn, Spider-Man, and Sonic
  • Printable calendars, such as the November 2026 and January 2026 calendars

If your task is printing a calendar or a coloring sheet rather than designing an interface, Misc is the section to open.

How to Choose a Starting Point

Match the category to what you need to produce. If you're presenting an existing screen, start with Mockups. If you're building a new app flow, start with UI Kits and adjust the layout. If you need a consistent visual language for buttons and navigation, start with Icons. If you need something printable or a one-off concept graphic, check Misc.

One caveat worth knowing before you commit: the resources are described as built for the Sketch App, so the file format matters if you use a different design tool. The site also promotes a weekly email digest, which it says 5,500+ designers subscribe to — useful if you'd rather receive new resources than browse categories each time.
