Follow these steps:

1. In your applicationDocumentsDirectory function in AppDelegate.swift add this code:

   let urls = NSFileManager.defaultManager().URLsForDirectory(.DocumentDirectory, inDomains: .UserDomainMask)

   // Look for this in the console, this will print out the location of the sqlite database, which you can then open with an SQLite viewer

   print("urls.last \(urls.last)")

2. Look for this in the console, this will print out the location of the sqlite database, open your terminal and open whatever_the_location_path_was

3. Download SQLite viewer http://sqlitebrowser.org/

4. Right click the yourapp.sqlite file in the folder, choose Open With sqlitebrowser that you downloaded

Cheers!
