## What it is
Reactotron is a free, open-source desktop application for debugging React JS and React Native apps, letting developers inspect state, API requests, errors, and performance. It connects to your app as a dev dependency over websockets and is extensible via a plugin system.

## Use cases
- inspect React Native app state while debugging
- view API requests and responses from my React app
- track global errors with source-mapped stack traces
- benchmark performance in a React Native project
- hot swap Redux or mobx-state-tree state during development
- debug Async Storage in React Native
- dispatch Redux actions from a desktop debugger

## When to choose
- you develop React or React Native apps and want a dedicated GUI debugger
- you use Redux, mobx-state-tree, or redux-saga and need state inspection and time-travel
- you want a dev-only tool that adds nothing to production builds

## When to avoid
- you need to debug non-JavaScript or non-React applications
- you only want lightweight CLI-based debugging without a desktop app
- you need production monitoring or crash reporting rather than development debugging

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, monitoring, testing, benchmarking, logging
- domain: developer-tools, frontend, mobile-development, web-development
- platform: windows, cross-platform
- tags: react, react-native, debugging, redux, redux-saga, state-inspection, electron-app, devtools, macos, linux, desktop, electron
