Following the announcement of Visual Studio for Mac’s retirement, for the next 65 hours we are offering a 65% discount on new subscriptions for Rider, the only cross-platform .NET IDE.

The offer is valid for a new one-year personal subscription purchased before 6:00 am UTC, September 4, 2023.

    Rider is great, it’s 100% worth the money.

    Switched over to it this year from VS, it’s so good in comparison. There’s some things that aren’t as nice (the CPU/memory graphs in VS are actually nice and handy). But overall, an upgrade.

    I’m happy enough with VS on Windows, but I just dug up an old laptop of mine, replaced its bad hard drive, and installed Pop! OS on it, so this discount comes at a great time.

    My subscription expires in two days so this has worked out rather well for me.

      IDEs need to be constantly updated to keep up with language / framework changes. Your subscription pays for that continued work.

      If you really want, you can buy the 1 year and cancel after it’s up - you get a perpetual license for the version you’re on at the time it expires, but I really don’t get why that would be a good thing.
