The fastest path from idea to manufactured PCB.

Website | Documentation | Download | Discord

Trace is an AI-native hardware design platform that handles the full idea-to-PCB workflow: from block diagram to schematic generation, datasheet parsing, component selection and placement, layout, DRCs, and Gerber export.

Built on KiCad, enhanced with intelligent tools.

What We Build

  • Trace - AI-powered PCB design tool (desktop app)
  • Documentation - Guides, API reference, and tutorials
  • Backend API - REST API for Trace services

Key Features

  • Real-time schematic and PCB design assistance
  • Component selection recommendations
  • AI-powered auto-routing
  • Design rule checks with AI suggestions
  • Full KiCad compatibility

Contributing

We welcome contributions. See our Contributing Guide for details.

Trace is built on KiCad, an open-source EDA suite licensed under GPL.
