Tracy Profiler
Tracy Profiler is a remote profiler for games and other applications, built to capture telemetry in real time at nanosecond resolution. It combines CPU profiling with frame and sampling analysis, and supports C, C++, Lua, Python and Fortran integrations. GPU profiling covers OpenGL, Vulkan, Direct3D 11/12, Metal, OpenCL, CUDA and WebGPU. Tracy can also capture memory allocations, locks and context switches, and associate screenshots with recorded frames. A capture daemon can find Tracy clients over UDP and save each capture to a separate file; a separate tool merges multi-process traces. Merging preserves zones, messages and plots, but drops GPU zones, memory events and call stacks. Sampling can heuristically reconstruct zone call stacks. An optional assistant analyzes captured data with llama.cpp models and requires local setup. Tracy is free under the 3-clause BSD license. Platforms include Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, iOS and other listed environments; releases include PDF documentation and compiled Windows x64 binaries.
