Responsively - Test Your Website on Every Device at Once

Free, open-source tool to preview your website on multiple devices simultaneously. Essential for responsive web development.

Building responsive websites is hard. You design for desktop, check mobile, tweak tablet, and repeat endlessly. Responsively changes that by letting you see all devices at once - in real-time.

🎯

Free & Open-Source

Test unlimited devices simultaneously with zero cost. Available for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

See All Devices at Once

Instead of resizing your browser or switching between device emulators, Responsively shows you phone, tablet, and desktop views side-by-side:
