Penpot’s open-source UX/UI software has taken the digital creative industries by storm since its inception in 2015. Penpot has great tools which are better than other UX/UI software like Figma and alternatives, but since the tail end of 2024 and its introduction of plugins, it now competes even better with design and development software services. Plugins improve your user experience through creative tools with integrated third-party apps, whether you’re using plugins in DaVinci Resolve , Krita, or Photoshop. Now you can access community-made plugins for Penpot, too.

This plugin seems a little like a chicken-and-egg situation: A plugin to help you install and organize other plugins. It does as it says. Plugins List is a Penpot plugin widget to help make searching for, finding, installing, and using plugins a seamless experience.

It’s just a shame you can’t use the Plugins List plugin to search for it from the beginning. Overall, this plugin takes away some stress and time from searching for Penpot plugins in the typical way, although there is a simple Penpot plugin installation page to follow.

Having various design elements in your UX/UI design can add to the user experience (not always positively, though). The Blobbb plugin allows you to generate blobs or various organic shapes to use in your designs. They’re generated as SVG, which is the best format for web or app design and development.
