A dynamic, wireless debugger for iOS apps consisting of an embedded static library and a Mac client app that discovers debug sessions via Bonjour. It lets developers send messages to live objects on a running device without breakpoints or recompiling.

Use cases

  • debug ios app wirelessly without breakpoints
  • send messages to live objects at runtime
  • tweak ui values on device in realtime
  • rapidly test changes without recompiling the app
  • connect mac debugger to ios app over local network

When to choose

  • you maintain a legacy Objective-C iOS project on older toolchains
  • you want live runtime tweaking of numeric values on a device

When to avoid

  • starting any new project - the project is deprecated and unmaintained
  • you need modern Swift or recent iOS/Xcode support
  • you need a debugger with active community support
