About

Sightline

Read full description

A sharper eye for any design. Sightline reads the design in front of you the way a trained designer would. Direct, specific, and without the flattery. Photograph a screen, a poster, packaging, or a sign — or choose one from your photo library — and get an honest critique in seconds. Five ways to look closer: • Critique: a five-lens read of hierarchy, typography, spacing, contrast, and intent. • Palette: pulls the colors, names them, and reads how they work together. • Typeset: reads the type and suggests stronger pairings. • Copy Check: catches unclear, off-tone, or inconsistent wording. • Accessibility: flags color-contrast problems before your users hit them. See what's wrong and then how to fix it. Every tool has two available steps: first the diagnosis, then, on a tap, specific fixes you can actually apply. Not a designer? Say so. Sightline will explain what it sees in plain English instead of design language — the same honest read, without the jargon. Sightline is for anyone who wants a designer's eye on their work, whether they design for a living or just want it to look like they do, including: • Designers & Developers: a fast second opinion on UI mockups, screens, and marketing pages before they ship • Founders & Indie Makers: app screens, landing pages, and pitch decks, without a designer on the team • Marketers & Social Managers: ads, social posts, email layouts, and campaign graphics before they go live • Small Business Owners: menus, flyers, signage, packaging, and storefront branding • Students & Educators: assignments, portfolios, project mockups, and slide decks • Content Creators: thumbnails, channel art, title cards, and brand kits • Writers & Copywriters: headlines, UX copy, and button labels looking for tone, clarity, and consistency Start on your iPhone, keep going on iPad, and (with Pro) bring Sightline to your Mac, with your history synced across all of them. Free to start, with all five tools free every month. Go Pro for unlimited reads and fixes (subject to fair use), the Mac app, and accent themes to make it yours. Your work stays yours: Sightline sends your design to be read once, and nothing is kept. It isn't stored on our servers, and under Anthropic's commercial terms it isn't used to train their models. There's no account, no email, no password — just your device and an anonymous iCloud identifier. No third-party analytics, no tracking, no ads. Look closer. Pricing: Free: 10 reads + 3 fixes / month, all tools. Need a few more? Credit packs top up your month — one-time, and they never expire. Pro: Unlimited (subject to fair use), plus Mac and accent themes. Sightline Pro is an auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at purchase and renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.
