Built after clock-out
Native, lightweight tools made by one developer on the night shift. No browser engine running underneath, no account to sign up for, and no subscription.
The apps
Checks your connection every second and logs each time it drops. It shows whether the problem was your PC, your router, your provider, or website lookups, and builds a report you can send them.
Get it on Microsoft Store Source code on GitHub
Everything in DropTrace, plus tools for the problems that aren't full outages.
AppData fills up with leftovers from programs and games you uninstalled years ago, under names that make no sense. FolderTrace tells you which program each folder belongs to, so you can clear out the ones you don't need.
For games that stutter even when your FPS looks fine. HitchTrace watches your PC while you play and points to the likely cause of each hitch, such as a background app, disk activity, a driver, or a Windows setting.
How they're built
A lot of desktop apps today ship a whole browser inside them. These don't, so they open fast and leave your RAM for the things you're actually doing.
A likely cause is labeled as likely. The apps show you the evidence and don't claim more than it proves.
The free versions stay free. Paid versions cost one flat price on the Microsoft Store, with no monthly fee.
Support the work
If DropTrace helped you get your internet fixed, or FolderTrace cleared out a few gigs, a coffee keeps the next app coming.
