LifetimeTracker is a Swift library for iOS that surfaces retain cycles and memory leaks in real time during development. It tracks object lifetimes and displays issues via an in-app dashboard overlay, working with both Swift and Objective-C codebases.
Use cases
- find retain cycles in ios app
- detect memory leaks during development
- track viewmodel deallocation
- debug memory issues in swift classes
- surface leaked objects while developing features
- monitor object lifetimes in objective-c and swift
When to choose
- you want immediate visual feedback on leaks while developing, not sporadic Instruments sessions
- your codebase is pure Swift where ObjC-runtime-based detectors like FBRetainCycleDetector fall short
- you want to track key actors like ViewModels and Controllers with a lightweight debug-only dependency
When to avoid
- you need automatic retain-cycle detection with full object graph analysis rather than lifetime tracking
- you want leak detection in production or release builds
- your project is not iOS/Cocoa-based
