KSCrash is an open-source crash reporting framework for Apple platforms (iOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS, visionOS). It catches Mach exceptions, signals, C++/ObjC exceptions, main thread hangs, and OS-level terminations, generating full Apple-format crash reports.

Use cases

  • capture crash reports in an iOS app
  • detect main thread hangs in Swift apps
  • report OOM and thermal terminations on Apple platforms
  • collect Objective-C and C++ exception backtraces
  • send crash reports to a custom backend server
  • debug app crashes on tvOS and watchOS

When to choose

  • you need self-hosted or custom crash reporting on Apple platforms
  • you want full Apple-format crash reports with every field filled in
  • you need hang detection and termination diagnostics beyond what Xcode gives
  • you want an MIT-licensed, dependency-light crash reporter

When to avoid

  • you want a turnkey hosted dashboard with symbolication and analytics out of the box (use Sentry or Firebase Crashlytics)
  • your app targets non-Apple platforms
  • you only need basic analytics events rather than crash diagnostics
