LifetimeTracker
A runtime tool for iOS/macOS developers to detect retain cycles and memory leaks during development with on-screen notifications.
What is LifetimeTracker?
LifetimeTracker is a runtime tool for iOS and macOS developers that detects retain cycles and memory leaks during app development. It provides immediate visual notifications within the app, helping developers identify memory issues as they write code rather than after the fact. The tool tracks object lifetimes and alerts when configured limits are exceeded, simplifying memory management debugging.
iOS and macOS developers working with Swift or Objective-C who need to proactively identify and fix memory leaks during development, particularly those building complex view hierarchies or managing many view controllers and view models.
Developers choose LifetimeTracker because it provides real-time, in-app notifications for memory issues, works with both Swift and Objective-C, and integrates easily into existing workflows. Unlike Instruments or FBRetainCycleDetector, it offers continuous monitoring during development, reducing debugging time and catching problems earlier.
