Babel and TypeScript support enables you to write modern, up-to-date syntax.

Testimonials

Since the first release of RunJS in late 2018, many people from around the world, with all kinds of backgrounds have said very kind words about it.

Awesome JS playground here. Its similar to Swift playgrounds - every line of JS code will be evaluated separately, with output printed on the right. Great tool for exploring JS!

RunJS - a desktop app that serves as a JavaScript scratchpad. This is one of my favorite tools for debugging and testing things quickly.

If you want to know what a piece of JS code will do, there's no substitute for just RUNning it and seeing the result! RunJS has become an essential tool in my daily JS development, writing, and teaching work, unseating a bunch of other tools like consoles, CLIs, and in-browser code editors.

This. is. awesome: RunJS, a JavaScript playground for Mac. Supports TypeScript, Babel transpilation, Node and browser APIs altogether, import Node modules from a folder, and more.

Was looking for a simple Javascript REPL Mac app and ran across RunJS.. this is perfect. simple little sandbox to tinker with JS before writing it for real in my main environment.

If you want to quickly see what a wee JavaScript snippet evaluates to, RunJS is a delightful way to find out. It's free. And pretty. And cross-platform. I dig it.
