# PowerSync DevTools for Dart and Flutter

> Launch PowerSync DevTools in the Dart and Flutter DevTools view you already know!

The PowerSync SDK contributes a DevTools extension to [Dart & Flutter DevTools](https://docs.flutter.dev/tools/devtools/overview). No additional dependencies or setup is required to launch PowerSync DevTools. The extension is included in the `powersync` package from v2.6.0 and activates automatically when a `PowerSyncDatabase` is opened. It is disabled in release builds.

## Open the Extension

First, open DevTools:

* In **VS Code**, launch your app in debug mode, then run the **Dart: Open DevTools in Browser** command from the command palette.
* In **Android Studio / Intellij**, click the **Flutter DevTools** button in the run toolbar.
* For apps launched from the command line, see [these instructions](https://docs.flutter.dev/tools/devtools/cli).

In DevTools, a **powersync** tab appears in the DevTools tab bar alongside the standard panels. If you have multiple databases open, use the dropdown in the top-right corner to switch between them.
