CodeTracer is a semi-portable piece of technology, so its usage varies, the following subpages explain how you can interact with it through different interfaces, as well as, how to use its signature features:

Frontends

CodeTracer currently only has a GUI frontend, though some interactions, like recording and replaying applications are activated through the CLI. For example, one can launch ct replay and the GUI will launch, where you will do all your work after that initial start from the CLI

The GUI frontend is simply a web page. When running as a desktop application, it uses Electron in order to integrate with your host operating system. You can also use CodeTracer in a web browser.

Note

Running CodeTracer in your web browser is not a currently released feature, although we have a working version internally

There are plans for future frontend, such as a REPL or TUI frontend.
