Public documentation for BuildLens, the Unity Editor build-size analysis tool published by Tools Studio.
This repository holds the public documentation source for BuildLens. It's documentation source, not the product itself — for the Unity Editor extension, see the Unity Asset Store badge above.
The content lives under docs/, and is published from this repository's docs/ folder via GitHub Pages. If you're reading this on GitHub rather than the published site, Overview in the table below is the best place to start.
- Overview & Treemap — every packed asset rendered as a proportionally sized, colour-coded rectangle, with a sortable, filterable list alongside it.
- Dependency Tracing — trace an asset's full forward and reverse dependency chain without losing your place.
- History & Diff — every analysis is saved as a snapshot; compare any two for an exact build-over-build size delta.
- Logs & Export — a running log of each analysis run, and JSON/CSV export for anything you need outside the Editor.
- Demo Mode — a full synthetic dataset for exploring every feature without a real build.
