Logger for Shortcuts

Just found this tool last weekend, implemented it into two of my shortcuts and it works beautifully on macOS 14.5, iOS 17.5.1, and iPadOS 18 beta 2. Thank you for this nice tool! (Just a little bit sad it took me four year to discover it!😃) It is a useful addition next to Data Jar, Actions, Toolbox Pro, and Pushcut.

For every logged line on macOS I have to click Allow in the popup. On iOS and iPad OS it works well.

logger has been an incredible change in the way I troubleshoot my automations and complex shortcuts.

Well, the “App Support” link goes to a 404 page and there’s no way to contact the company on the website nor within the app. Anyway, the “Copy Title” function doesn’t work. Otherwise good app.

Earlier this summer I spent days developing Shortcut automations for a project that would have taken me weeks of absolute drudgery. It took me “days” and not “day” because I had no practical way of seeing why my shortcut wasn’t working, and my workarounds were almost as tedious as the project I was trying to automate. Logger is the solution. I just worked through a similar project with Logger on hand, and EVERYTHING went so much more smoothly—I could see where I’d told Shortcuts to do something foolishly, I could see where inputs and outputs deviated from my intentions, I could see everything. Project took me a day, and not days.

If you have any interest in writing shortcuts for your iOS device, this is an indispensable app. I can't recommend it highly enough. It's been we'll worth the purchase price for me.

I turn on logging, put the actions in the shortcut configure them, run it, and receive no logging.
