OSRS / RuneLite

Can you get RuneLite on iPad or an Android tablet?

RuneLite does not run on iPad or Android tablets; use the official OSRS Mobile app instead. A Windows 2-in-1 can run desktop RuneLite if its hardware, Windows installation, and current Jagex and RuneLite requirements support it. For OSRS Mobile tablet picks, see the shortlist.

The answer

Can I get RuneLite on an iPad?

No. iPadOS uses OSRS Mobile. A keyboard or mouse does not add RuneLite.

Can RuneLite run on a tablet?

Android tablets: no. iPadOS tablets: no. Those platforms do not have an official RuneLite mobile client, so the supported tablet option is OSRS Mobile. A Windows 2-in-1 can run the desktop client if its hardware, Windows install, and current Jagex and RuneLite requirements support it; see the Windows 2-in-1 exception.

A larger screen, keyboard case, mouse, or Bluetooth accessory does not add RuneLite plugins to OSRS Mobile.

Official OSRS Mobile

Best tablets for OSRS Mobile

These tablets run the official app, not RuneLite. Choose by size and whether you will hold or mount the screen.

Start with the iPad mini for handheld play, the Galaxy Tab S10 FE for a larger Android screen, or the Redmi Pad 2 for a lower-cost option.

Handheld

iPad mini (A17 Pro)

Our top pick for handheld OSRS

Best for: holding the tablet on the sofa, in bed, or while traveling.

The 8.3-inch screen keeps it compact and puts the touch interface within easy reach. Skip it if small text is already a problem on your current screen.

Exact listing: A17 Pro, 128GB Wi-Fi. Check the generation and storage before ordering.

Larger Android

Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE

Larger-screen Android option

Best for: a larger Android screen, especially on a stand.

Pick the 128GB Wi-Fi Blue configuration if you want more screen than the mini and prefer Android. It is less convenient to hold than the mini.

Exact listing: 11-inch, 128GB Wi-Fi, Blue. That storage tier is for your other apps and files, not an OSRS requirement.

Budget Android

Redmi Pad 2

Best cheap tablet in this shortlist

Best for: an 11-inch Android screen when you do not need the Galaxy Tab S10 FE.

It is the budget option in this shortlist. The linked listing is a Global ROM model, so check the seller, region, charger, return terms, and selected configuration before ordering. See the budget OSRS tablet pick for the wider budget decision.

Exact listing: 4GB RAM, 128GB Wi-Fi, Global ROM.

For a Fire tablet, use the separate OSRS on Fire tablet guide. It has its own install path and is not a RuneLite recommendation.

After the Mobile picks

The Windows 2-in-1 exception

Tablet shape is not the deciding factor. The desktop operating system is.

A Windows 2-in-1 can run desktop RuneLite if its hardware, Windows install, and current Jagex and RuneLite requirements support it. Treat it as a laptop that folds or detaches.

A keyboard case on Android or iPad adds an accessory, not RuneLite. Compare the workflow in OSRS tablet vs laptop, and check the exact install path in the Chromebook guide.

Mobile limits

What you give up without RuneLite

OSRS Mobile has no RuneLite plugins or desktop overlays, and its windows work differently from the desktop client. A larger screen does not add those features.

Touch-first Mobile can still fit couch play or a dedicated handheld screen. For desktop inputs, read the SayoDevice O3C guide after choosing the RuneLite path.
