Unlimited runs — no daily caps
Sim, synthesis, and lint compile in your browser via WebAssembly. No shared-server queues and no per-day run limits like cloud-hosted IDEs.
cd /path/to/RTLStudio && python3 serve_coi.py(
serve_coi.py adds cross-origin isolation headers useful for WASM.) Or: python3 -m http.server 8080.
Then visit http://127.0.0.1:8080/ (use 127.0.0.1, not file://).
No problems have been detected in the workspace.
[info] RTL Studio loaded. [info] Open this Log tab to see Vim / extension messages (they do not appear in python http.server output).
Run “Lint check” in the left sidebar to populate summary (Slang / Yosys). Background Slang checks update Problems only.
[lint] Detailed lint logs appear here after a run.
Run simulation to populate summary ($display and other testbench print output).

Embedded waveform UI uses the official
Surfer logo (logo-small.svg,
EUPL-1.2). This panel is part of RTL Studio and supports VCD loaded from simulation or disk.
Surfer documentation — native Surfer adds FST, GHW, FTR and more; see the upstream project for the full feature set.
RTL Studio — no install, fast, and runs in your browser.
This walkthrough takes about a minute: edit RTL, run Lint and Simulation, peek at waveforms, then Synthesis diagrams and Waveform editor from a VCD.
Congratulations — you completed every Quick start step.

Browser HDL IDE · Verilog & SystemVerilog
© 2026 RtlStudio. All rights reserved. RTL Studio is proprietary software — see Terms of Service. Public copy also at rtlstudio.dev/about.
RtlStudio runs simulation, synthesis, lint, and waveform tools as WebAssembly inside your browser tab. Your RTL stays on your machine for compile and sim — nothing is sent to our servers unless you explicitly save to a cloud slot or share a link.
Optional Google sign-in for cloud workspace slots (Free: 3 · Pro: 10), lecture progress, and subscription sync.
Vendored engines are listed in our Third-party notices. Copyleft components (source disclosure) are separated from permissive bundles.
RTL Studio is a browser-based HDL (SystemVerilog/Verilog) IDE. It runs simulation (Icarus), synthesis (Yosys), lint (Slang), and waveform viewing (Surfer / WaveDrom) entirely client-side via WebAssembly — no install, no server required.

Sim, synthesis, and lint compile in your browser via WebAssembly. No shared-server queues and no per-day run limits like cloud-hosted IDEs.
Server-based flows must receive your RTL to run tools. RtlStudio keeps workspaces local to your tab — better for NDAs, employers, and tape-out IP.
Pro unlocks packaged reference IPs, SystemVerilog / UVM / AXI masterclasses, SkyWater sky130 Yosys technology mapping, and full Verilator simulation for real SV testbenches.
RtlStudio Pro is our only subscription. New tool engines, workbench extensions, and lectures land in Pro as we ship — no second tier to buy later.
No. RtlStudio does not offer a multi-month Pro trial. You can use Free tier tutorials and the Verilog lecture track at no cost; Pro is a paid annual subscription when you need Open IP, SkyWater sky130 synthesis mapping, and advanced lectures.
Yes. Cancel from Profile → Danger Zone or the cancel flow in-app. You keep Pro access until the end of your current annual billing period.
Initial purchases include a 7-day money-back guarantee only if you have not accessed premium assets (Open IP, Pro lectures, SkyWater sky130 synthesis mapping, and related libraries). Opening those assets waives the guarantee per our Terms. Request a refund before deleting your account—deletion first forfeits eligibility. Renewals are not refundable. Refunded accounts cannot repurchase Pro.
Yes, before your paid period ends. Resume turns auto-renewal back on at your locked annual rate. You are not charged on the day you resume—billing happens on your next renewal date.
If auto-renewal is still on and your annual charge fails, RtlStudio keeps Pro for up to 21 days after your billing period ends while Lemon Squeezy retries or you update your card (Update payment method in Profile). Cancelled subscriptions are not extended—Pro ends when the paid period ends. After 21 days without payment, access ends and your locked rate is forfeited. See our Terms.
Your funding-tier annual rate (e.g. $77–$166/yr while tiers are open) applies for as long as you remain subscribed without a long lapse. If you cancel and subscribe again later, you pay the then-current public price.
Verilator, Yosys, Slang, and related tools run as WebAssembly inside your browser tab. Workloads execute on your CPU — we are not metering shared cloud compile minutes.
RtlStudio has one paid plan. As we add new browser-native tools, panels, and curriculum, Pro subscribers get access — there is no separate Pro Plus or add-on tier. Free stays on today’s feature set.
