I’m a relative newbie when it comes to Sketch, so while learning more about any software, i look to see what the plugin world holds. Here are some of the plugin gems i found for Sketch! Please, let me know if there are any others you recommend in the comments.
Copy & Paste Guides
Free – Manually having to duplicate guides from artboard to artboard can be a pain. Solve that with this plugin.

Git Sketch Plugin
Free – Brings version control into Sketch by exporting an image for every portion of your design, utilizing pretty diffs so you can easily see changes you made. Cool stuff!

ImageOptim for Sketch
Free – I use standalone ImageOptim for Mac, so seeing an integrated plugin for Sketch, i was sold.
Magic Mirror
$4 – Image Perspective Transporation Tool. Instead of having to jump to Photoshop to do your device mockups, you can do it right in Sketch.

Find and Replace

Bolt Sketch Plugin
Free (and paid) – Import screenshots quickly. The free version only lets you import to a new artboard. Paid version is pay what you want through Gumroad.
Colormate Sketch Plugin
Free – Get an overview of all the colours in your Sketch file, and then you can replace all colour occurrences or just on a given layer.

Foodreau
Free – Populate data into your sketches, specifically food recipes, including images! Inspired me to look for other data-supplying plugins. Could be useful.

I think that’s it for now. I got a few of these just by the typical google of “best sketch plugins”, but many of them i was introduced to by scouring the exhaustive, constantly being updated official Sketch plugin page: https://www.sketch.com/extensions/plugins/
Cheers and peace.
