Is it possible to run devtools as a desktop app(mac os) ? It should have better performance versus browser version.

Hi - it is possible! We don't distribute it as a desktop app, but have had discussions about doing that.

To try it out yourself, you can clone this repo, cd to packages/devtools_app, run flutter packages get, and then run flutter run -d macos (or whichever desktop device is right for your platform).

I'm going to re-purposes this into a tracking issue for shipping a desktop version of the app. We may or may not end up doing that, but people can follow this issue for updates.

2024 update - this is blocked on Desktop support for embedded web views. We have several DevTools features that use an embedded iFrame.
