Remix Desktop brings the Remix Ethereum development environment to a standalone desktop application for building smart contracts. It provides an integrated workspace for writing, compiling, testing, and debugging Solidity code. Developers can interact with Ethereum-compatible networks and deploy contracts using supported execution environments. Unlike the browser-based Remix IDE, the desktop edition works directly with files stored on the computer. Its integrated terminal supports native shells and familiar Git workflows. Multiple application instances can run simultaneously for separate development projects. Files can be edited using external tools while remaining accessible to Remix. The application supports partially offline operation, although some plugins require connectivity. Automatic updates keep the desktop environment current on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
