Get Lingo app Remind Me to DownloadYes, you need an account to access your assets and the assets that have been shared with you.
You'll need the macOS app to add content into Lingo, however you can access that content from both the macOS app and the webapp. The macOS app does have features that you won’t find on the web like native drag & drop and it is the best way of using all content in Lingo.
Lingo uses the clipboard and standard file formats such as PNG and PDF to send content. It works with a vast number of applications including Sketch, Photoshop, Illustrator, Affinity Designer and Keynote.
You can copy and paste layers and layer groups from Sketch directly into Lingo. These assets will be added in as PDF or PNG depending on your preferences. Lingo does not store Sketch files (.sketch).
You can copy and paste layers and layer groups from Photoshop or Illustrator directly into Lingo. These assets will be added in as PDF or PNG depending on your preferences. Lingo does not store Photoshop or Illustrator files (.psd or .ai).
Assets are the individual pieces of content added to Lingo. Assets can be of 2 types: files (JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, SVG, EPS, and PDF) or color (HEX, RGB, and HSB).
Kits are collections of assets that can be shared with anyone (i.e. Brand Assets, UI Components, etc.).
Spaces are where kits/assets exist. Spaces are limited to 100 assets on the free plan and unlimited (up to 100 GB) on the premium plans. Spaces are usually named after your organization (i.e. The Galactic Empire, Rebel Alliance, etc.).

Assets added to Lingo for macOS are stored on the application support folder of the operating system. Assets are always uploaded to our secure servers so they can be shared with the people you want to collaborate with and accessed via the webapp.
Yes, because assets are stored locally on your computer they are available even when you don’t have an internet connection.
Lingo transfers assets to and from its servers using SSL with TLS v1.2 and forward secrecy. Assets are stored on Lingo’s servers using AES-256 encryption. We recommend enabling Apple's FileVault if you require assets to be encrypted locally on your computer. Lingo versions 1.0 and 1.0.1 transfer files using SSL with TLS v1.1 or later.
The assets you’re trying to add to Lingo might not be supported for 2 reasons, either they exceed the 20 MB per asset limit or they are not a supported file type.
