    Why switch from EveryCircuit

    Free, open-source schematic capture and simulation using ngspice or Xyce, on desktop.

    Pros

    • Works with several free simulation engines from one GUI
    • Windows installer comes bundled with Ngspice
    • Packaged for most Linux distributions, including Flatpak
    • Free and open source with regular releases

    Cons

    • Needs an external simulator backend to do anything
    • No PCB layout, so board design needs a separate tool
    • macOS install goes through a Homebrew tap rather than an app download
