mvis: Memory debugging for developers who just want answers. Simple. Fast. Works everywhere.
Existing tools are either platform-specific (Valgrind, WinDbg) or too complex for quick diagnostics. mvis gives you memory insights with a single command on any platform.
Our design philosophy is built around simplicity and accessibility because We believe memory debugging should be accessible, not a PhD requirement.
"One command. All platforms. No configuration hell."
Early but functional. Core scanning and leak detection work on both platforms. See the roadmap below for what's coming.
- Process Scanning: Inspect memory allocations of active processes.
- Heap-Level Analysis: Dive into heap structures for detailed debugging.
- DLL Tracking: Monitor and list all DLLs loaded by a target.
- Memory Leak Detection: Identify and monitor processes with growing, unreleased allocations.
- Stack Tracing: Capture call stacks to pinpoint allocation sources and trace execution paths. (Linux)
- Supported OS: Windows, Linux
- ptrace leak tracing (Linux) requires sudo or ptrace_scope=0
- macOS not supported yet

cargo build --release- TUI frontend for heap analysis (Changed to TUI instead of GUI following our design philosophy of being lightweight)
- Heap fragmentation visualization
- Realtime heap scanning
- Cross Platform support for MacOS
- Performance improvements
- Stack trace support for windows
- Json exports
- Heap walking is slow
- Missing stack trace for windows
- Linux stack frames resolve to addresses, not function names yet
- Missing Tests
