ForensicLite – Lightweight Crash Diagnoser

Help Windows native devs pinpoint crash root causes without wrestling WinDbg

Problem

Windows crash debugging is split between Visual Studio (friendly but limited) and WinDbg (powerful but archaic). Developers waste hours switching tools and interpreting raw stacks just to understand why a program crashed.

Solution

A local-first desktop tool that auto-parses minidumps/crash dumps, shows call stacks, thread states, exception types, and suspicious modules in a modern UI; one-click shareable diagnostic report; auto-flags common crash patterns like null pointers, heap corruption, DLL load failures.

Users

Windows native developers, C++/C# desktop app maintainers, indie game developers

MVP

Parse minidumps locally; visualize call stack and threads; flag common crash patterns; export a diagnostic summary; drag-and-drop crash file import

Revenue

One-time purchase $49–$99 or $5/mo subscription; team licenses and priority support

Why now

AI coding tools push more people into low-level work, but debugging UX remains CLI-era; a solo dev can build a focused alternative without Microsoft-scale engineering
