Hey everyone 👋

I built a lightweight iOS tool called MediaSizeWatchdog.

The idea came from a common issue I kept seeing in real projects:
backend/CMS uploads huge images or videos, the app technically works, but performance slowly gets worse.

Examples:

• 15MB marketing banners
• uncompressed feed images
• large GIFs/videos silently loaded in production
• increased memory/network usage without anyone noticing

So I made a debug tool that observes media responses and warns developers when assets exceed a configurable threshold.

Features:

• URLSession monitoring
• configurable size limits
• debug alerts
• adapter-based architecture
• lightweight setup
• works well for feed/CMS-heavy apps

Example:

MediaSizeWatchdog.shared.configure(
    threshold: .mb(5)
)

MediaSizeWatchdog.shared.start()

Would love feedback, ideas, or suggestions from other iOS developers 🙌
