See it in context
What it is
A stepper provides paired increment and decrement controls around a numeric value. It suits small quantities where moving one unit at a time is more convenient than typing.
When to use it
Show the current number, use meaningful increments, and respect minimum and maximum values.
Know the difference
A navigation stepper shows stages of a process; this numeric stepper changes a quantity.
Across platforms
Web
Use a native button for an action and an anchor for navigation. Preserve keyboard activation and a visible focus indicator.
iOS · iPadOS · Android
Provide a comfortable touch target, use familiar system symbols when appropriate, and show a clear pressed or selected state.
macOS · Windows · Linux
Keep pointer, keyboard, and focus behavior consistent. Common commands can additionally expose a menu item or keyboard shortcut.
