cross-platform
Works everywhere equally
Cross-platform describes software or technology that works across different operating systems or devices: a cross-platform app that runs on both iOS and Android, cross-platform compatibility.
The term reflects a computing landscape where users expect programs to function regardless of whether they're on Windows, Mac, Linux, or mobile systems.
