## What it is
DBDebugToolkit is an iOS debugging library written in Objective-C and Swift that provides an easily triggerable in-app menu of debug tools. It covers performance monitoring (CPU, memory, FPS), network request inspection, resource browsing (files, UserDefaults, Keychain, Core Data, cookies), console output, location simulation, and crash reporting, and integrates via CocoaPods, Carthage, or Swift Package Manager.

## Use cases
- monitor cpu, memory, and fps of an ios app on device
- inspect network requests and responses inside a running ios app
- browse core data, user defaults, keychain, and cookies during development
- collect crash reports with stack trace and console output from testers
- show touches on screen while recording or sharing an ios demo
- simulate location and memory warnings without xcode attached
- view console output and send logs by email from a device

## When to choose
- You need an on-device debug menu that developers and QA engineers can trigger without connecting to Xcode.
- You want to inspect app resources such as Core Data, UserDefaults, Keychain, files, and cookies at runtime.
- You need lightweight performance widgets (CPU, memory, FPS) and crash reporting built into a debug build.

## When to avoid
- You are developing for Android or other non-Apple platforms.
- You need static analysis or a unit/integration testing framework rather than runtime on-device debugging tools.
- You require long-term maintenance guarantees — the project is community-maintained and releases are infrequent.
