Project briefs that get the build right
Sketch concepts on Whiteboards, track projects in Collections with Gallery view, and use Craft Assistant to draft specifications — on Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Web.
For architects
From initial brief to client sign-off, your documents do the work
01 — Write briefs that guide the design
Structure requirements on a Whiteboard, then move them into a document. Craft Assistant helps draft detailed specifications from your notes.
Built for design thinking
Documents that match the quality of your work
From Whiteboards for concept sketches to Collections for project tracking, Craft gives architects visual and written tools in one app.
Whiteboards for concept design
Sketch site plans, map spatial relationships, and brainstorm concepts on Whiteboards. Works offline and exports for client review.
Collections with Gallery view
Track projects with design photos in Gallery view. Filter by phase, sort by deadline, and group by client or building type.
Craft Assistant for specifications
Draft project specifications, summarize meeting notes, and generate scope descriptions with the built-in AI Assistant.
Presentation mode for clients
Present design narratives and proposals directly from Craft. High-res images display beautifully. Share a web link after the meeting.
Web publishing for client sharing
Publish proposals and design narratives as polished web pages. Clients view on any device without downloading Craft.

Pages in documents were a revelation – they completely changed how I think about structuring content. Now, Collections take it even further, making Craft an even more powerful tool.
