Reveal for Mac

What this utility does

Reveal is a developer-focused debugging app that gives live, visual insight into an iOS app’s user interface. It lets you inspect and adjust UI elements while the app runs, helping to diagnose layout and property issues more quickly than static inspection alone.

Inspecting UI structure and properties

• Navigate the view hierarchy to locate nested views and understand parent–child relationships.
• Examine individual view attributes (such as frame, background, and alpha) and see their current runtime values.
• Review layout constraints and how they influence view sizes and positions.

Live editing and capture tools

• Modify UI components directly during execution to test fixes without rebuilding the app.
• Take screenshots of the current UI state for documentation or deeper analysis.
• Observe immediate visual feedback when you change properties or constraints so you can iterate faster.

Platform support and how it helps your workflow

• macOS-compatible and free to use, making it easy to add to a developer’s toolkit without extra cost.
• Speeds up debugging by reducing the need for repeated build cycles to confirm visual fixes.
• Improves overall development efficiency by helping teams find and resolve UI problems earlier.

Free alternative worth considering

• CheatSheet — a no-cost option that can complement your workflow for quick references and shortcuts.
