Welcome to Remix’s documentation!¶
Remix IDE is used for the entire journey of smart contract development by users at every knowledge level. It requires no setup, fosters a fast development cycle, and has a rich set of plugins with intuitive GUIs. The IDE comes in two flavors (web app or desktop app) and as a VSCode extension.
Remix Online IDE, see: https://remix.ethereum.org
Supported browsers: Firefox, Chrome, Brave. We do not support use of Remix on tablets or mobile devices.
Remix Desktop IDE, see releases: https://github.com/ethereum/remix-desktop/releases

Remix Project¶
Remix IDE is part of the Remix Project which also includes the Remix Plugin Engine and Remix Libraries, which are low-level tools for wider use.
