Avocode
Design collaboration and workflow tool (discontinued October 1, 2023)
About Avocode
Avocode was a design collaboration and workflow tool that helped teams bridge the gap between design and development. The platform enabled designers to share designs with developers, who could then inspect, export assets, and extract specifications from design files. Avocode supported multiple design file formats including Sketch, Figma, Adobe XD, and Photoshop, providing a centralized hub for design handoff.
Note: Avocode was sunset on October 1, 2023, and all products formerly offered by the Avocode team are no longer in service. The company has transitioned users toward alternative Ceros products (Studio and MarkUp) for their design and collaboration needs. While Avocode provided valuable design-to-development handoff capabilities during its operation, prospective users should consider active alternatives.
