## What it is
MTuner is a C/C++ memory profiler and memory leak finder that records the complete time-based history of every allocation, reallocation, and free, including call stacks, threads, heaps, and timestamps. It provides a GUI for scrubbing through the timeline, running queries over the full capture, and viewing automatic ranked insights about leaks, churn, and peak spikes.

## Use cases
- find memory leaks in a C++ application
- profile memory allocations over time
- track down allocation churn and repeated reallocations
- inspect heap usage at any point in a program's run
- analyze memory hotspots by call stack
- detect cross-thread free operations
- find short-lived large allocations causing peak spikes

## When to choose
- you need a full timeline of memory operations rather than just a live heap snapshot
- you are developing C/C++ applications on Windows or console/Android targets
- you want deterministic, rule-based analysis of allocation behavior with call stacks
- you need to diagnose leaks, fragmentation, or allocation churn after the fact

## When to avoid
- you need memory profiling for managed languages like Java, C#, or Python
- you only need a quick live heap snapshot without historical analysis
- you require a command-line-only or CI-automated memory checking workflow
- your target platform is not among the supported capture targets
