Buoy is an in-app developer toolkit that provides a floating menu to inspect and modify the state of a running application. It allows developers to check web calls, storage, query caches, routes, renders, and performance, facilitating on-the-fly debugging and environment manipulation.

buoy sits in the Dev Tooling category, so it is usually better judged by workflow fit, deployment style, and team needs than by isolated features alone. Based on the available metadata, it leans most clearly toward Floating in-app menu for inspecting and modifying application state.. A representative use case is Quickly switch environments or sign in as a different customer directly within the running app.. The listed license is NOASSERTION. GitHub stars are currently 691. Relevant tags include In-app DevTools, Debugging.
