In their own words

iTrace

iTrace is a free, MIT-licensed toolkit for analyzing webcam eye-tracking data, with a scientific core built on NumPy and SciPy. It computes gaze in degrees of visual angle and detects fixations, saccades, and microsaccades using I-VT, I-DT, and Engbert–Kliegl methods. Pupil tools include blink detection and interpolation, preprocessing, and eye-crop segmentation measured in pixels or relative to iris size. Affine screen-space calibration reports calibration error and gaze-quality measures. The command-line tool analyzes gaze CSV files and exports JSON reports. Optional webcam capture uses OpenCV and MediaPipe, and optional interfaces include a local HTML app using FastAPI and WebSockets and a Streamlit dashboard. Live workflows can export derived gaze, pupil, and capture CSVs. By default, the workflow does not save raw eye video or persisted eye-crop images, though live viewing may send a temporary JPEG crop to a browser over a local WebSocket. The project says its checks use synthetic ground truth rather than real eye-tracking data or a reference device. Webcam pupil size is a relative proxy, not a measurement in millimetres.
