   Probably the best free and open source alternative to Figma. They recently introduced Flex Layout, which was a long-awaited feature. I think Figma is still ahead in terms of features, but Penpot is catching up.

   Loving it since its open source. A much more viable option compared to Figma.

   It's a fast, native (and free) design app for Windows. The best I've found.

   This application feels like Figma but is a native version, free and can work offline, and the transition is smooth. This application is also available not only for Windows and Mac OS, but also available on Linux.

   Latest Lunacy feels just like clone of Figma, but works offline and has lack of additional plugins and libraries, but it's not functional features.
