BoardTrace

BoardTrace is a focused utility for electronics hobbyists, technicians, and engineers who need to track test points, probe locations, and signal traces across printed circuit boards (PCBs) during debugging, reverse-engineering, or repair work.

Instead of scribbling notes on paper or juggling loose photos of a board, BoardTrace lets you build a structured, searchable record of every test point on a board: its label, location, expected voltage or signal, net name, and any notes you add as you probe. Attach photos of the board itself so you can visually cross-reference where each point lives.

KEY FEATURES

- Create board profiles for every project you're working on, so test points stay organized by board instead of mixed together.
- Log test points with labels, expected values, net names, and free-form notes.
- Attach reference photos to boards and individual test points for quick visual lookup.
- Search and filter test points across a board in seconds instead of hunting through paper notes.
- Keep a running log of what you've measured, so repeat debugging sessions don't start from zero.
- All data stays on your device — no account, no sign-in, no cloud sync required.

WHO IT'S FOR

BoardTrace is built for anyone who regularly works with bare boards or bring-up hardware: repair technicians, electronics hobbyists, hardware engineers, and students learning to debug real circuits. Whether you're chasing down a dead board, documenting a reverse-engineering project, or building a reference library of test points for a product you support long-term, BoardTrace keeps that knowledge organized and easy to find.

PRIVACY BY DESIGN

BoardTrace does not require an account and does not sync your data to any server. Everything you record — board profiles, test points, notes, and photos — stays stored locally on your device. There are no ads and no third-party analytics or tracking SDKs in the app.

PRO FEATURES

A free tier covers the core workflow of creating boards and logging test points. Optional Pro upgrades (monthly, yearly, or one-time lifetime purchase) unlock expanded capacity and additional organizational features for users managing a larger number of boards and projects.
