# Getting Started

Welcome to Hypen! Write your UI once and run it natively on Web, Android, and iOS — all from a single codebase.

## Develop Anywhere, Run Everywhere

Hypen gives you a complete development workflow out of the box:

- **`hypen dev`** — Start a hot-reloading dev server and preview in the browser
- **`hypen studio`** — Open a full in-browser IDE with live preview, state inspector, time-travel debugging, and an integrated terminal
- **`hypen run android`** — Preview your app on an Android device or emulator with hot reload
- **`hypen run ios`** — Preview your app on the iOS Simulator with hot reload
- **`hypen run android --studio`** — Edit in Studio and preview on a device at the same time

You can go from zero to running on all three platforms in minutes.
