## What it is
Takt is an Android library that measures an app's frame rate (FPS) using the Choreographer API and displays it as an on-screen overlay. It offers simple initialization, customizable overlay appearance, and an FPS listener for logging or programmatic use.

## Use cases
- measure fps of my android app
- show a frame rate overlay during development
- detect jank and dropped frames in android ui
- log fps values while profiling an android app
- debug rendering performance on android

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight, drop-in FPS meter for Android debug builds
- you need programmatic FPS callbacks for custom performance logging
- you want a no-op variant so the library is stripped from release builds

## When to avoid
- you need full performance profiling beyond frame rate (use Android Profiler or Perfetto)
- you need actively maintained tooling - the latest release is from 2021
- you target iOS or non-Android platforms

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: monitoring, benchmarking
- domain: mobile-development, performance, developer-tools
- platform: -
- tags: fps, choreographer, debug-overlay, frame-rate, android-library, android
