Watchdog is a small Swift library that monitors the main thread and logs when it is blocked longer than a configurable threshold. It supports a strict mode that pauses execution so developers can inspect which code is blocking the main thread.

Use cases

  • detect main thread hangs in an iOS app
  • log when the UI thread is blocked for too long
  • find which code is blocking the main thread during development
  • debug janky or unresponsive interfaces on iOS or macOS
  • enforce main thread responsiveness thresholds in strict mode

When to choose

  • you are building an iOS, tvOS, or macOS app in Swift and want lightweight main-thread hang detection during development
  • you need a tiny drop-in debugging aid rather than a full profiling suite

When to avoid

  • you need production-grade performance monitoring or crash reporting rather than a development-time debugger
  • your project is not on the Apple/Swift platform
