Solis
Solis is a live web design preview tool for macOS that integrates with code editors to display real-time output of HTML, CSS, SCSS and LESS code. It supports multiple viewports so developers can see their work rendered simultaneously across different screen sizes and configurations, includes live reload functionality to update previews automatically as files change, and provides access to WebKit developer tools for debugging. It is designed to speed up the web design and front-end development workflow by eliminating the need to manually refresh a browser while coding.

1 suggestionSolis appears to be abandoned — the most recent publicly available information dates to 2021 (version 1.0.8) and there is no evidence of a native Apple Silicon build ever being released. The Intel-only build continues to run under Rosetta 2 on M-series Macs today, but Apple is removing Rosetta in macOS 28 (September 2028), so this app will stop working on that release. Since the developer has not updated the app in several years, a native build is extremely unlikely. Web developers currently using Solis should begin researching modern native alternatives. Popular actively-maintained options with confirmed Apple Silicon support include Hype 4 (for interactive web prototyping), Whisk (for live preview with code editing), or general-purpose editors with built-in preview functionality like Visual Studio Code with the Live Server extension. You can also search for modern web design preview tools to compare features and find one that matches your workflow before September 2028.
