Sliders GL — Shadertoy-compatible GLSL editor for Windows

Everything a shader needs, exposed as a control

Sliders GL turns every uniform in a GLSL shader into a precise, keyboard-accessible control — no more editing numbers by hand and re-compiling to see the result.

◈

Ultra-precise sliders

Click-drag scrubbing, fine/coarse step modifiers, per-channel vector and color controls, full keyboard access.

✎

Monaco-based editor

Syntax highlighting, inline diagnostics, autocomplete, and code formatting for GLSL, right inside the app.

⇄

ShaderToy-compatible

mainImage, iResolution, iTime, iMouse, channel uniforms — with direct import by ID or URL.

⇩

Full export pipeline

Frame and screenshot export, video recording, standalone HTML, and full project ZIP export.

▥

Blender-style workspace

Topbar, tool shelf, tabbed Properties, Outliner, draggable/ collapsible areas — a real desktop editor, not a wrapped webpage.

⛨

Fully offline

All runtimes, fonts, and tooling are bundled locally. Zero network dependency for core functionality.
