RenderDoc is a free MIT licensed stand-alone graphics debugger
heh https://github.com/baldurk/renderdoc#readme is all "RenderDoc is intended for debugging your own programs only. Any discussion of capturing programs that you did not create will not be allowed in any official public RenderDoc setting, including the issue tracker, discord, or via email" but the 3 of the 4 screenshots are of dota2 :-D
Still, that looks handy for sure

Need help: capture Hogwarts Legacy in RenderDoc?
He's pretty clear about it every time it's asked. Tracing copyrighted games is legally questionable, and tools like RenderDoc are often abused by people to do illegal asset ripping/reselling.

Are bindless textures niche or weird?
Baldur explains why he won't implement bindless texture support in this issue: https://github.com/baldurk/renderdoc/issues/850

Renderdoc's GPU Selection on a laptop
Renderdoc works by inserting itself as a Vulkan layer, which means it can change the output of functions if it so chooses. As you can see in the RenderDoc version of vkEnumeratePhysicalDevices it changes how devices are returned, and this likely is the reason the order changes.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing VulkanHelper and renderdoc you can also consider the following projects:
liblava - Modern and easy-to-use library for Vulkan
apitrace - Tools for tracing OpenGL, Direct3D, and other graphics APIs
Vulkan-Samples - One stop solution for all Vulkan samples
reshade - A generic post-processing injector for games and video software.
Open-Source Vulkan C++ API - Open-Source Vulkan C++ API
dgVoodoo2 - Glide/DirectX implementation on D3D11/12
VulkanExamples - Examples and demos for the Vulkan C++ API
DiligentEngine - A modern cross-platform low-level graphics library and rendering framework
bgfx - Cross-platform, graphics API agnostic, "Bring Your Own Engine/Framework" style rendering library.
vulkan-renderer - Game engine written with C++ and Vulkan.
RayTracer - Ray Tracer in C++ with openGL.
