  • Hyperion

    In-app design review tool to inspect measurements, attributes, and animations.

  • Never tried but I seen before https://github.com/willowtreeapps/Hyperion-iOS and https://github.com/isavynskyi/LayoutInspector. There is also one more that is very similar to revealapp that is free, but it felt a bit dodgy so I did not try it. I will edit this post if I can find it again. Other than revealapp there is also Sherlock app, which is very useful as well for simulator debugging.

  • LayoutInspector

    Tool to debug layouts directly on iOS devices: inspect layers in 3D and debug each visible view attributes
