The world's most loved .NET and game dev IDE
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.
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.
Work your own way, seamlessly switching between Rider and ReSharper at will, and get access to top-tier profilers and coverage tools only available to dotUltimate subscribers.
Accelerate your workflows with AI-powered capabilities integrated into Rider and ReSharper to speed up coding and make it more enjoyable.
Reduce procurement overhead and optimize costs with a single comprehensive license. Prepare your business for growth with dotUltimate, which is constantly evolving alongside your developers’ needs.

JetBrains Rider is the first tool I install after repaving my development machine. I haven’t launched Visual Studio for months after I switched to JetBrains Rider. Working with branches has never been so smooth!

JetBrains Rider is my C# development tool of choice these days on both macOS and Windows. If you’re a long-standing ReSharper user, you’ll find it to be an almost seamless transition. I highly recommend the developer-friendly keystroke navigation and fine-grained debugger support.

An IDE can make or break a developer’s day. When JetBrains introduced Rider (C#), we jumped on board as fast as we could. Having been there at every step of the way in Unity’s evolution of IDE integrations, working with Rider has been nothing but an absolute joy. With the introduction of CLion (C++), we were so excited we created an integration plugin for Unreal. Both of these tools help our team on a daily basis, allowing developers to perform their tasks quickly and efficiently, all the while seamlessly integrating with numerous parts of our pipeline.

In Rider, I just focus on working with my code, as it should be, instead of fighting my IDE. Rider gave me back the joy in writing .NET code.

Switching to JetBrains Rider was a great decision. Our team has never experienced an IDE that can communicate with Unity in such a flawless and efficient manner. We would highly recommend JetBrains Rider to anyone who aims at improving the efficiency and accuracy of their workflows.

Really pleased with how well JetBrains Rider works on my MacBook. It’s blazingly fast and the debugging experience in C# is at least as good as Visual Studio. Also, it gives me all the benefits of ReSharper out of the box! Loving it. Thanks JetBrains for another great product!
AI agents can now tap into Rider's own coverage data, profiler, and code analysis, so they work from real project knowledge for more accurate results and better code quality.
Debugger launch is ~2.8s quicker on Windows, branch switching in Roslyn solutions is 2–3× faster, and Unreal Engine C++ and asset indexing is roughly 2× faster.
A configurable GDScript formatter, drag-and-drop scene nodes, Autoload/UID resolution, and the official Rider integration add-on on the Godot Asset Store.
Market-leading businesses all over the world choose Rider and other JetBrains IDEs for their daily operations.
