How it works?

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

Develop components in isolation

Radon IDE comes with a package allowing to preview components in full isolation. Develop your components individually without distractions.

Adjust device settings on the fly

You can adjust text size and light/dark mode right from the Radon IDE. Focus just on your app without switching between windows.
