## What it is
Debugtron is a cross-platform desktop application for discovering, launching, and debugging in-production Electron apps with Chrome DevTools integration. It automatically detects installed Electron applications and lets you attach DevTools to both main and renderer processes.

## Use cases
- debug an in-production Electron app
- inspect a production Electron build with DevTools
- reproduce customer issues in deployed Electron apps
- profile performance of packaged Electron applications
- launch an Electron app with remote debugging flags
- view stdout/stderr logs of an Electron app while debugging

## When to choose
- you need to debug a packaged or production Electron app that lacks built-in debugging
- you want a GUI to discover and launch multiple Electron apps with debug sessions
- you need DevTools access to both Node.js main process and renderer processes

## When to avoid
- you only need to debug your own app during development, where standard Electron dev tooling suffices
- you need headless or CI-based debugging rather than an interactive desktop tool

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, gui
- domain: developer-tools, desktop-applications
- platform: cross-platform, windows
- tags: electron-debugging, devtools, production-debugging, app-discovery, debugging, macos, linux, electron
