We’ve been developing our cross-platform UI library for .NET for over three years, and we’re excited to preview now AlterNET Studio X—our cross-platform solution for code editing and scripting.
It is expected to be released as a beta in early 2025.
Code editor to run on macOS, Linux, IOS and Android
For desktop develpers, Code Editor will be available for macOS and Linux, using the AlterNET UI library.
Code Editor - Windows
Code Editor - macOs
Code Editor - Linux
Cross-platform .NET and Python script debugging
Our debugging engines for .NET and Python have been upgraded to run on macOS and Linux. The debugging user interface, including user controls for breakpoints, call stack, watches, as well as the debug toolbar and menus, are built with AlterNET UI and MAUI.

Script Debugger - Linux
While our main focus is on cross-platform desktop applications, since AlterNET UI also supports MAUI, Code Editor will also be compatible with iOS and Android devices.

Changes to our component libraries
Most of our component libraries will support .NET Standard 2.0 for cross-platform development. To enable this, we will need to refactor parts of our codebase, including moving WPF/WinForms-related functionality into separate assemblies.
All of our component libraries will be compatible with .NET 9
New product tier
The AlterNET Studio Universal edition will include cross-platform libraries and will be priced higher than the current product.
Additionally, we will introduce a new product tier focused solely on Windows-only development.
Existing AlterNET Studio Universal customers with an active subscription will be automatically upgraded to the new Universal edition.
