Overflow.io

When working on your next design project, a great place to start is to understand the user flow, and the best app to do that with is Overflow.io. Overflow.io gives you access to the most common types of user flows and overflow examples and allows you to expand on them or build your own. They even have options for early-stage ideation to get a simple overview of the journey users will go on.

Typeform

The next important aspect of any design project is understanding what your audience, or users, is thinking of at the current stage of development. After all, the users will be using your product or site. A great way to get this feedback is through Typeform, a new way of gathering information. Typeform offers intuitive surveys and questionnaires with an easy-to-use interface.

Sketch

If you are looking for a basically all-in-one application that can be used to optimize your workflow and build prototypes for websites and apps, then Sketch is what you need. You should know, however, that it is only available on Mac at the time of writing. One of the biggest benefits of Sketch is that you can work with a team, together, on the same document, at the same time.

InVision Studio

If you have been doing design work for any amount of time, you have no doubt heard of InVision Studio. InVision Studio is perhaps the pinnacle of design work that relates to user interface and animation. InVision Studio is most proud of its ability to provide rapid prototyping. However, it also offers other benefits, such as responsive designs, tools that allow for fast screen designs, and advanced motion capabilities.

Batterii

It makes sense that designers are more visual thinkers, so lists and lengthy notes are just a no-no. If you are looking to optimize your design workflow and ensure that all team members are on the same page, then you need to begin using Batterii. Much like Overflow.io, Batterii allows you to understand the customer journey, create tasks, manage teams, and more, all with visual aids.

Adobe Comp

If you are looking to take your design project to the next level, and can’t afford to stop working on the go, then Adobe Comp is just the app you need. Adobe Comp was designed to be used on iPads and offers many features that rival desktop applications. For example, you can use shapes as placeholders for images and more. Adobe Comp allows you to build the layout concept for your site and also allows you to export to InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop when you’re done.

Affinity Designer

Speaking of Photoshop, there is one application that has been deemed by many designers to have surpassed Photoshop, and that is Affinity Designer. Affinity Designer allows you to do more than you’d expect; mock-ups, UI designs, print projects, icons, logos, concept art, and more can be created using Affinity Designer. Two features really stand out: the ability to undo over 8,000 steps and zoom in by 1,000,000%.

Adobe XD

One of the best tools you can get for your next design project would be Adobe XD, but it is only really worth it if you already use the various Adobe applications. Adobe XD is great for website design, especially UX. You can use many tools, such as tools for designing non-static interactions, drawing tools, desktop and mobile previews, and more. It is also integrated with the rest of the Adobe apps, so you can export and import assets with just a few clicks.
