Package Overview

Package selection guidance compiled from public package information, community data, and project usage.

The show_fps package is a lightweight Flutter tool that displays a real-time FPS (frames per second) badge in the corner of your app during development. It helps developers monitor performance and identify rendering bottlenecks by visualizing frame rate fluctuations. The badge is automatically hidden in release builds, ensuring it doesn't affect production apps. Compatible with all major platforms, including mobile, web, and desktop, it integrates seamlessly into any Flutter project with minimal setup. Ideal for optimizing UI responsiveness and detecting performance issues early in development.

Use cases

  • Performance monitoring during development
  • Identifying UI jank or lag
  • Optimizing animation smoothness
  • Debugging rendering issues
  • Real-time feedback on app responsiveness

Key features

  • Displays live FPS counter
  • Auto-hides in release mode
  • Minimal configuration required
  • Supports all Flutter platforms
  • Customizable badge position
  • Lightweight and non-intrusive

Suitable for

  • Flutter developers
  • UI/UX engineers
  • Performance testers
  • Mobile and web app builders

Considerations

  • Not intended for production use
  • Badge visibility may interfere with testing layouts
  • Requires manual removal before release
  • Limited customization options
  • Only active in debug mode

void main() {
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'FPS Monitor',
      debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
      home: ShowFPS(
        alignment: Alignment.topRight,
        visible: true,
        showChart: true,
        child: const MyHomePage(),
      ),
    );
  }
}
Hide in Release Mode
import 'package:flutter/foundation.dart';

ShowFPS(
  visible: !kReleaseMode,
  child: MyHomePage(),
)

  // Advanced metrics
  showFrameBudget: true,       // Show % of frame budget used
  showDroppedFrames: true,     // Show dropped frame count

  // Interaction options
  draggable: true,             // Allow dragging the widget
  collapsible: true,           // Tap to collapse/expand
  doubleTapToHide: true,       // Double-tap to temporarily hide
  hideDuration: const Duration(seconds: 3),

  // Performance options
  sampleRate: 1,               // Update every N frames

  // Customization
  backgroundColor: const Color(0xaa000000),

  poorColor: const Color(0xfff44336),
  textStyle: const TextStyle(
    color: Colors.white,
    fontSize: 14,
  ),

  // Alert callback
  alertThreshold: 30,          // Alert when FPS drops below 30
  onAlertTriggered: () {
    print('FPS dropped below threshold!');
  },

  child: MyHomePage(),
)
