Announcing Responsive Admin Lite: Free Magento 2 Extension for Tablet-Friendly Admin
We're excited to announce the launch of Responsive Admin Lite, a completely free and open-source Magento 2 extension that brings responsive design to your admin panel for tablets!
Why Responsive Admin Lite?
As Magento store owners and developers, we often need to manage our stores on the go. Whether you're checking orders on an iPad during your morning coffee or updating inventory from a tablet in your warehouse, having a responsive admin interface makes all the difference.
That's why we created Responsive Admin Lite - to give the Magento community a free, easy-to-use solution for tablet-friendly admin management.
Key Features

- Responsive Data Grids - Tables scroll horizontally on smaller screens
- Full-Width Forms - Labels and inputs adapt perfectly to tablet width
- Touch-Friendly Interface - Buttons and controls optimized for touch
