The world's most loved .NET and game dev IDE

Power up with Rider

JetBrains Rider is a leading cross-platform IDE for .NET and game developers looking to boost productivity and streamline their development process.

Powerful

JetBrains Rider is an all-in-one IDE for developers working with the entire .NET technology stack, as well as those involved in game development. Its robust feature set allows you to develop a wide array of applications targeting frameworks like .NET, ASP.NET Core, MAUI, or game engines like Unity, Unreal Engine, or Godot.

Fast

Rider's architecture is designed for speed and responsiveness, flawlessly sustaining its extensive feature set. By offloading resource-intensive code analysis operations to a separate process, interruptions like UI freezes and text input delays are virtually eliminated.

Cross-platform

Why limit yourself to one operating system when your framework can be versatile? JetBrains Rider is a truly cross-platform IDE, providing a seamless development experience across Windows, macOS, and Linux. With added support for Android, iOS, and Mac Catalyst development, it also expands your project's reach.

Code quality boost

JetBrains Rider streamlines your development process and elevates code quality. By offering hundreds of smart inspections and suggestions, the IDE can upgrade your code to the most recent language enhancements, clear out obsolete and inaccessible code, predict compilation and runtime issues, and assess the code quality of your entire solution.

Accelerate Development

AI Assistant in Rider is your go-to for speeding up the coding process. Whether you’re working with .NET, Unity, or Unreal Engine projects, the AI delivers intelligent, context-aware code completions, quick-fixes, and even boilerplate code. It handles the small stuff so you can stay focused on writing great code.

Gain Clarity

When your code throws an exception or your Git history gets messy, AI Assistant is there to break it down. It explains exceptions and deciphers commit histories, making it easier to troubleshoot and stay on top of your code. No more guessing – just clear, actionable insights.

Make It Yours

You can tailor AI Assistant to your particular workflow with custom prompts, and the ability to chat with the AI inside the IDE gives you quick answers without context switching. Attach files to the chat to get specific code feedback and suggestions right where you need them.
