Can Webflow detect what OS the site visitor is using?

Hey,

I’m wondering if Webflow is capable of detecting the OS of a site visitor so the Download button can change accordingly? (e.g. Download for Mac, Download for Windows)

If this is not possible, would importing custom code work?

This is something our current website does but we’re looking to migrate to Webflow to give our devs more time to focus on product development.

Our website for reference (www.insynchq.com)

webflow doesn’t offer yet this function.

You’re going to need Javascript for that, but not some complicated code.

You can start here: javascript - Hide CSS element dependant on operating system using jquery - Stack Overflow

You’ll find many many examples if you google this.

Thanks for the help @vincent!

We experienced this question with a client project and created a script that allows you to show or hide any desired element based on the device, OS or browser being used by the site visitor.

Here is a link to the tutorial video that goes through the problem as well as walking you through the solution.

If there are any questions please feel free to tag me!

Happy Friday!
