Whether you're just starting or debugging something subtle.

curious developer

You've heard of Playwright but haven't written a test yet. Trywright gives you a live sandbox to explore the API against any real website — no project setup, no spec files, no terminal after install.

QA engineer onboarding

You understand testing concepts but need to build intuition for how Playwright's API behaves against real pages. The REPL is your scratchpad. The API reference is always one tab away.

debugging cross-browser

You need to understand why something behaves differently across browsers before writing a test for it. Launch a WebKit session against the page in question and use the REPL to interrogate exactly what Playwright sees — without writing a single file.

No config. No IDE. No boilerplate.

Trywright starts in seconds from the command line.
On first run it registers itself as a login startup item — so it's
running when you need it, silent when you don't.
One URL in your browser and you have a live Playwright session.
