In their own words
MicroProfile
MicroProfile is a free, embeddable C++ profiler supplied in a few files for adding profiling to a project. Developers mark code with timer macros and include microprofile.cpp. Its live view is opened in Chrome by visiting the profiler host on port 1338, and it can capture the last 30 frames by default. Captures are self-contained webpages that can be saved and shared; profile data can also be written to HTML or CSV. GPU timers support OpenGL, D3D11, D3D12, and Vulkan. Counters appear in live and capture views, and timeline markers cover longer-running unique timers. A detailed view can compare two captures, but not captures made with earlier versions. Experimental dynamic instrumentation supports Intel x86-64 on Windows, macOS, and Linux, with MICROPROFILE_DYNAMIC_INSTRUMENT_ENABLE and distorm required; Linux builds also need -rdynamic. Default per-thread profiling buffers allocate 2 MB, and GPU buffers default to 128 KB each. The project is MIT-licensed and lists Windows, macOS, Linux, and unspecified console support.
