Logger for Shortcuts

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.
