Versions:
JetBrains Rider 2026.1 is a fast, cross-platform integrated development environment purpose-built for the entire .NET ecosystem, enabling developers to create, debug, refactor and deploy applications that target .NET, ASP.NET, .NET Core, Xamarin and Unity from a single unified workspace on Windows, macOS or Linux. With eighty-one released versions to date, the IDE has matured into a comprehensive toolset that combines intelligent C#, F#, VB.NET and Razor code completion, more than 2,500 live code inspections, one-click navigation and over 450 context actions with integrated unit testing, database tooling, Docker support and built-in decompilation, giving teams end-to-end productivity for web services, desktop programs, mobile apps and game projects alike. Rider’s cross-platform debugger attaches seamlessly to local or remote processes, while its ReSharper-powered engine shares inspections and refactorings with JetBrains’ ReSharper extension for Visual Studio, ensuring consistent code quality across heterogeneous environments. Version 2026.1 introduces incremental generative support for C# 13 syntax, enhanced Avalonia and Blazor WebAssembly project templates, and updated Unity-specific performance profilers that reduce iteration time for game developers. Because the application runs on JetBrains’ own runtime, developers can maintain a consistent keyboard scheme, theme and plugin library when switching between operating systems, making Rider equally suitable for individual contractors who build Xamarin mobile apps on a MacBook and for enterprise squads that orchestrate ASP.NET Core micro-services on Linux build servers. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
