Welcome to Brewser

A web runtime platform for Nintendo Switch homebrew and beyond

Brewser turns your homebrew-enabled Nintendo Switch into a first-class 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 — there are no proprietary brewser.* APIs to lock you in.
  • Real hardware access. WebSerial, WebBluetooth, MIDI, NFC and more, with a permission model you control.
  • Built for tinkerers. Games are welcome, but Brewser is first and foremost a playground for makers: dashboards, hardware tools, demos, experiments.
