Version control for designs using Git, without altering tools.

Kactus is a version control tool designed specifically for designers, enabling teams to track changes to design files and collaborate effectively without requiring designers to leave their existing design applications. Built on Git technology, Kactus abstracts away technical complexity to provide designers with a familiar, approachable interface for managing design versions. The tool is available as a freemium product, allowing teams to access core version control functionality at no cost while offering additional features through paid plans.
Kactus addresses common design collaboration challenges by treating design files similarly to how developers manage code. Teams can work on different branches of a project in parallel, experiment with design variations without affecting the central version, and maintain a complete history of all changes. For designers working with teams that include developers, Kactus enables cross-team integration, allowing both roles to collaborate within the same version control ecosystem. The tool's layer-level granularity means designers can commit specific changes rather than entire files, creating a more detailed historical record of design evolution.
Kactus serves design teams and individual designers who need structured version control but lack formal development experience. It is particularly well-suited for teams using Sketch, designers collaborating with developers on shared projects, and organizations seeking to implement design system governance without adopting complex technical workflows. The tool works well for teams of any size that value clear change tracking, design collaboration, and the ability to reference previous design states. Visit Kactus
