Brewser DocsWelcome to Brewser
A web runtime platform for Nintendo Switch homebrew and beyond
Brewser turns your homebrew-enabled Nintendo Switch into a web runtime. Browse a catalogue of community-built web apps and games, launch them instantly, and, if you're a developer, publish your own using nothing but standard web technology.
What makes Brewser different
- Standard Web APIs only. Apps built for Brewser are plain web apps. If it runs on Brewser, it runs in Chrome too.
- Real hardware access. WebSerial, WebBluetooth, MIDI, NFC and more, with a permission model you control.
- Built for tinkerers. Games are welcome, but Brewser is primarily for makers: dashboards, hardware tools, demos, experiments.
