Know when you're on the client in React. useIsClient returns false during SSR and true after hydration completes. Use it to safely access browser APIs like window, document, localStorage, or navigator. Prevents hydration mismatch errors in Next.js. Simple boolean return—no complex state. Perfect for conditionally rendering browser-only components, accessing Web APIs, or showing loading states during SSR. Works with Next.js App Router, Pages Router, and any SSR framework. Zero dependencies, zero config.
