# LeakCanary 🐤
LeakCanary is a memory leak detection library for Android.
LeakCanary's knowledge of the internals of the Android Framework gives it a unique ability to narrow
down the cause of each leak, helping developers dramatically reduce `Application Not Responding`
freezes and `OutOfMemoryError` crashes.
