Introduction

Trace is an AI-native platform for designing PCBs. The fastest path from idea to manufactured board.

What is Trace?

Trace is a desktop application for macOS and Windows that lets you design printed circuit boards using a combination of traditional schematic capture and intelligent design assistance. You can describe what you want to build in plain language, and Trace will help you select components, create schematics, and lay out your PCB.

Built on KiCad, the open-source EDA suite, Trace adds intelligent tools that accelerate your workflow.

Key Features

• Intelligent Design Tools - Describe your circuit in natural language and get component suggestions, schematic generation, and layout assistance.
• Professional EDA Tools - Full schematic editor and PCB layout tools based on KiCad.
• Component Library - Access to thousands of components with footprints and 3D models.
• Export Ready - Generate Gerber files, BOMs, and other manufacturing outputs.
