About the project

Open-source tracing toolkit used to capture and analyze performance traces across apps, the Android OS, Chromium and Linux, including profiling and an SQL engine for extracting metrics from trace files.

Useful for
  • Profile a C/C++ application's custom trace points to find performance bottlenecks.
  • Analyze an Android trace in the browser UI to investigate jank or slow startup.
  • Query multi-GB trace files with SQL to compute custom performance metrics.

1.5 Steady Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of November 2, 2026, 21:46 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

0815August 5, 2026November 2, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-02 (UTC), 00:15–21:41: 6728 → 6738 stars (+10). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +11 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

New stars over 7 days: 34. -3% versus the preceding 7 days.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
