The record

Purpose: Tracy is a real-time, nanosecond-resolution remote telemetry, hybrid frame and sampling profiler for games and other applications.
Other captured data: It can profile memory allocations, locks and context switches, and attribute screenshots to captured frames.
Third-party bindings: The project points to third-party bindings for Rust, Zig, C#, OCaml and Odin, among other languages.
Distribution: GitHub releases include the user documentation as tracy.pdf and compiled Windows x64 binaries.
Trace automation: The 0.14 release added a capture daemon that discovers Tracy clients over UDP and captures each to a separate file, plus a tool to merge multi-process traces.
Merge limitation: The release notes say trace merging preserves zones, messages and plots, while GPU zones, memory events and call stacks are lost.
AI assistant: The release notes describe an assistant integration that can run locally and analyze captured data; they state local setup is required and that running it locally keeps activity private.
License: Tracy Profiler is licensed under the 3-clause BSD license.
Maintainer: The license names Bartosz Taudul as the copyright holder for 2017–2026.
Security: The 0.14.1 release notes say string-length encoding in the protocol was hardened.
Other telemetry: It can profile memory allocations, locks and context switches, and attribute screenshots to captured frames.
Remote capture: The project describes Tracy as a remote telemetry profiler.
Automated capture: The 0.14 release added a capture daemon that discovers Tracy clients over UDP and captures each to its own file.
Trace merging: The 0.14 release added a tool to combine multi-process traces; the release notes say the implementation preserves zones, messages and plots, while GPU zones, memory events and call stacks are lost.
