GlowCode is a Windows and .NET performance analysis tool for developers investigating slow code, memory leaks and resource problems. Its profiler displays runtime results while an application runs, and function-call tracing helps reveal execution behavior. A recursive leak detector searches for unreferenced heap blocks, while live allocation views expose memory and resource use. Developers can launch a program or attach to a running process without changing its source code or build steps.

GlowCode is a performance analysis and diagnostic tool for developers working on Windows and .NET applications. It helps investigate slow code, memory leaks, excessive resource use and execution behavior without requiring changes to an application's source code or build process. The tools can be used with desktop and console programs, Windows services, DLLs and OLE components, making GlowCode applicable to both standalone software and larger development projects.
Its code profiler presents runtime performance data while an application is running, helping developers identify functions that consume disproportionate time. Function-call tracing provides a view of program execution, while real-time displays of memory and resource allocations can reveal growth or overuse as it occurs. These views are useful when a problem depends on a particular workflow and is difficult to reproduce through static inspection alone. GlowCode can also capture profile results for later review or sharing with colleagues.
For memory diagnostics, a leak detector searches recursively for unreferenced heap blocks. Additional analysis helps locate excessive memory use, resource flaws, and objects that remain active or retained longer than expected. GlowCode also includes code coverage checks and tools for isolating boxing errors in .NET applications. Together, these features support investigations ranging from a suspected leak to broader questions about how an application spends time and allocates memory.
GlowCode can launch a program for analysis or attach to a process that is already running. Its just-in-time instrumentation connects diagnostic tools as needed, so developers can examine an application without adding post-build steps. The interface acts as a diagnostic dashboard, with viewers that can be resized or detached to suit a particular investigation. It can work with Microsoft Visual C++, .NET languages such as C# and Visual Basic, and other compilers that produce PDB debug information. When PDB files are unavailable, it can use exported symbol names commonly found in DLLs.
The tool is intended for software developers diagnosing performance and reliability issues, including in large applications such as CAD programs. It can operate with a debugger active, and its instrumentation is designed to keep runtime overhead low. GlowCode is trialware. The supplied operating-system information includes Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 and 10; Windows 11 support is not established here. Installation is self-contained and does not modify system files or the Visual Studio installation.
