Arduino IDE Alternatives

Arduino IDE is described as 'Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It's intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments' and is a popular IDE in the development category. There are more than 10 alternatives to Arduino IDE for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Mac, Linux, Online / Web-based and Android. The best alternative is Microsoft Visual Studio. It's not free, so if you're looking for a free alternative, you could try PlatformIO or React Studio. Other great apps like Arduino IDE are Ktechlab, B4R, LabsLand and Arduino Eclipse plugin.

Arduino IDE alternatives are mainly IDEs but may also be Code Editors or Electronic Design Automation Tools. Filter by these if you want a narrower list of alternatives or looking for a specific functionality of Arduino IDE.
