The Debug Console is a tool exclusive to the Official Client and, formerly, the iOS closed beta client. It has a set of commands that may prove useful for debugging technical issues on the client or setting several preferences. A list of commands can be viewed by typing ? in the console.
To open the console on desktop, hold down Alt and then press ` (grave accent). The console could be opened on the iOS beta client by swiping down 4 fingers.

Trivia
- As with RuneScape's Developer console counterpart, the console has snowflakes in its interface for the duration of the season of winter. The snow continues to pile up on the background until the interface is completely filled. Closing the interface or resizing the console window will reset or clear the snow inside the interface.
