FLEX (Flipboard Explorer) is a set of in-app debugging and exploration tools for iOS development. When presented, FLEX shows a toolbar that lives in a window above your application. From this toolbar, you can view and modify nearly every piece of state in your running application. Access any live object via a scan of the heap. View the file system within your app's sandbox. Browse SQLite/Realm databases in the file system.

Dynamic is an Objective-C library for dynamically interacting with private and public iOS APIs. It allows developers to access properties, methods, and classes that are not normally exposed, useful for runtime exploration and advanced debugging.

...This is invaluable for research, debugging, and tooling where you need to understand what UIKit, Foundation, or lower-level frameworks are actually doing under the hood. The project encourages read-only exploration; code using private APIs is generally unsuitable for App Store distribution. Practitioners use it to guide experiments, prototype ideas, and inform jailbreak or internal tooling where runtime knowledge is essential.
