Runtime environments: RunJS includes Node.js and browser environments for experimenting with code and browser APIs.
NPM packages: The NPM Packages tool installs libraries from the npm registry for use without setting up a project on disk.
Debugging: Logpoints print values from selected lines without changing source code or adding console.log calls.
Code snippets: Users can save reusable snippets and import or export them as JSON files.
AI integrations: AI Chat can connect to OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Mistral, or a local model served by tools such as Ollama.
AI key handling: RunJS says AI API keys are stored locally and used only to authenticate requests to the selected provider.
Privacy: The privacy policy says RunJS does not sell, rent, or loan identifiable customer information and describes its personal-data use as GDPR-compliant.
Platforms: The site offers desktop downloads for macOS, Windows, and Linux, including Linux AppImage and Debian packages.
Who it is for: RunJS describes use by developers prototyping and debugging, and by teachers and students learning to code.
Education licenses: Eligible students and teachers can request a free full license with one year of updates, intended for learning and teaching rather than commercial work.
