An IDE for React Native

Radon IDE is a VSCode and Cursor extension that turns your editor into a fully featured IDE for React Native and Expo.

Free 30-day trial. No sign up or credit card required.

How it works?

An IDE

Integrated experience

See the preview of your application right where you need it the most – close to your codebase. Radon IDE runs IOS Simulator and Android emulator directly in your Visual Studio Code and Cursor project.

Integrated experience

Element Inspector

Click to inspect

Using the built-in inspector you can jump directly from preview to a file where your component is defined. It can't really get simpler than that.

Debugger

Use breakpoints right in VSCode

Without any additional setup the extension allows to add a breakpoints in Visual Studio Code to debug your React Native application. It. Just. Works. IDE also automatically stops at runtime exceptions showing you the exact line of code where they happened.

Router integration

Navigation made easier

The Radon IDE integrates tightly with your deep-linked application allowing you to jump around the navigation structure (supports both React Navigation and Expo Router projects).

Navigation made easier

Logs

Search through the logs easily

Radon IDE uses the built-in VSCode console allowing you to filter through the logs. The links displayed in the console are automatically linking back to your source code.

In my opinion, the must have Extension for React Native developers. Some features that I really like:
- The preview wrapper to test any component in isolation
- Jump to file and line of code
- Route history
- No need for an extra window, the simulator lives inside the IDE
- Device settings adjustments
- I can't say how many times I wish there was a tool to let me change the location that fast
- Fast inline element inspection (This is really useful when debugging but also when you are a new to a project and you'd like to see the structure of the views to easily learn and navigate inside the project).

Congrats SM team. I find Radon especially useful for hopping in an unfamiliar codebase. Tap a component, get taken right to the code. Saves a ton of time!

Truly a product that makes a difference and adds innovation to the React Native ecosystem. It is beyond measure the value that Software Mansion has brought to React Native already with Reanimated, Gesture Handler, React Native Screens and more...
Radon IDE is the icing on the cake
