BlackBox is symfony like unobstrusive debug bar attached to the top of the browser window.
How can it help you with development: 
1. instantly inspect global variables (GET, POST, COOKIE, SERVER) 
2. debug both frontend and admin area 
3. executed MySQL queries and time it took to execute each query (useful for finding slow queries) 
4. profiler for measuring performance of your plugins and themes 
5. errors occurred when loading WordPress page

BlackBox Debug Bar

Immediate feedback on a great majority of errors. Added a conditional red background to the Errors, and with this modification I have never miss even a notice anymore.

Thank you very much!

Essential plugin in my developer toolset

BlackBox is a plugin for plugin and theme developers. It collects and displays useful debug information (errors, executed queries, globals, profiler).

Debug Bar Cron adds information about WP scheduled events to a new panel in the Debug Bar. This plugin is an extension for 
Debug Bar and thus is dependent upon Debug Bar being installed for it to work properly.
Once installed, you will have access to the following information:
<ul>
<li>Number of scheduled events</li>
<li>If cron is currently running</li>
<li>Time of next event</li>
<li>Current time</li>
<li>List of custom scheduled events</li>
<li>List of core scheduled events</li>
<li>List of schedules</li>
</ul>

Debug Bar Cron

This has been great for checking if WordPress's scheduled events are firing. Good for checking if you need to setup a real cron job or if that real cron job is failing. Very clear presentation.

Debug Bar Cron adds a new panel to Debug Bar that displays information about WP scheduled events.
