Chrome DevTools packaged as a standalone macOS desktop application using Electron, allowing developers to inspect and debug Chrome targets via remote debugging without opening the browser. The project is discontinued and superseded by inspect.dev.
Use cases
- debug chrome tabs outside the browser
- inspect web pages with devtools in a standalone app
- connect to chrome remote debugging port
- use devtools as a separate desktop application
When to choose
- you want a standalone devtools app on macOS and don't mind an unmaintained project
- you're studying how DevTools can be decoupled from Chrome
When to avoid
- you need maintained, up-to-date tooling
- you need Windows or Linux support
- you want to debug Safari or iOS WebViews (use inspect.dev instead)
