About:
Sherlock is a visual debugger for iOS simulators that allows developers to inspect view hierarchies, visualize view properties, and debug layout issues in real-time. It provides a powerful, visual alternative to console-based debugging, significantly speeding up the UI development and troubleshooting process.

Key Features:

Real-time view hierarchy inspection
Visual property and constraint debugging
Performance metrics and memory monitoring
Network request inspection and logging
Screenshot and video recording of simulator sessions

Use Cases:

Debugging complex Auto Layout and view hierarchy issues
Profiling app performance and memory usage during development
Creating visual bug reports with annotated screenshots and videos

Alternatives:

Reveal – More feature-rich commercial inspector, while Sherlock is a focused visual debugger.
Xcode View Debugger – Built-in but less intuitive; Sherlock offers a more visual and streamlined experience.
