dSymbolizer makes it easy to decode backtraces from stripped binaries if they have been build with the new DWARD/.dSYM format with a nice GUI.

Introduction
Do you want to be able to ship stripped executables but still receive usable backtraces?
Then dSymbolizer is for you.

Background
Recent releases of Xcode supports a new debug symbol format called DWARF.
One especially useful feature, is the ability to generate a symbol file that is separated from the application proper.
This allows you to ship a stripped version of your application but still being able to decode the backtrace by using that symbol file (it is called a dSYM file).
The problem is that the current toolsets doesn't make it very easy to do this (essentially, only gdb supports DWARF/dSYM at this point).
dSymbolizer makes it easy.
