Heaptrack
KDE's heap profiler records allocations with stack traces and visualizes peaks, leaks, and temporary-allocation hotspots through call trees, flamegraphs, and timelines.
Why it’s here
Native clients, custom engines, and servers can find frame-time allocation churn and long-term growth without the full overhead of general binary instrumentation.
Best fit
Testing, performance, accessibility, and diagnostics expose friction before launch.
Before you commit
It is Linux-focused and depends on good symbols and representative scenarios; custom pools need annotations, and long captures can become large.
