Which operating systems and devices does Mudlet run on?

Updated

Mudlet runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux-based operating systems, and it also works on Chromebooks and Raspberry Pi. If you use more than one computer, scripts you write on one machine will work on another, and you can share your profiles through services like Dropbox.

Supported platforms

Mudlet describes itself as cross-platform and lists the following supported environments:

Platform Supported
Windows Yes
macOS Yes
Linux-based OS Yes
Chromebook Yes
Raspberry Pi Yes

The site's summary is that "Mudlet works anywhere" across these systems, so you are not locked into a single desktop OS.

What cross-device use looks like

Two claims matter if you play or script from more than one machine:

  • Script portability — scripts made on one computer will seamlessly work on another.
  • Profile sharing — you can share your profiles via Dropbox.

So a typical setup is: write your Lua scripts and configure your profile on your main computer, then move to a laptop, Chromebook, or Raspberry Pi and keep the same setup rather than rebuilding it.

Why this matters for choosing Mudlet

Mudlet is a MUD client with a Lua-powered scripting system, and its interface is designed to be fully modifiable. Because the same client and the same scripts run across Windows, macOS, Linux, Chromebook, and Raspberry Pi, you can treat your configuration as something you carry between devices instead of something tied to one machine.

If your main requirement is running a text-based MUD client on an unusual device — a Chromebook or a Raspberry Pi, for example — Mudlet explicitly lists those as supported, which removes the usual concern about finding a client that fits your hardware.
