If you are writing shortcuts on your phone, this is so much better than a Quick Look action. A quick look gives a moment in time reference and then is gone. This combines all your checks through a script into one place that gives context to an entry and where things may have gone off the rails. I recouped the $5 for it with the time saved on the very first shortcut I used it for.
Literally invaluable if you build shortcuts of any complexity.
Worth every penny for debugging/monitoring Shortcuts
logger has been an incredible change in the way I troubleshoot my automations and complex shortcuts.
This app will pay dividends in time saved/headaches avoided when troubleshooting those shortcuts that don’t want to work. It’s worth the investment to say the least. Actively updated with great devs.
I wish I could give this 6 stars. This makes Shortcut development *so* much faster than Quick Look.
Every time I use Logger, I feel surprised at how useful the log is. I really appreciate how Logger works so well with Shortcuts that it feels built-in. Super nice work.
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.
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 want my money back. And the screenshots look so promising.
Currently, this app opens up with a black screen on iOS and does not open at all on macOS. I really liked this app for debugging shortcuts, but I hadn't intentionally used it in at least a few months, so I can't give the exact version in which this app stopped working. My best guess is that the last major releases of both iOS and macOS broke the app probably due to some under-the-hood changes to the Shortcuts app. I hope the developer is able to address this breaking issue!
I saw this on DF and bought it straight away.
It doesn't work exactly as I expected — logs are genereated by descrete steps added to the shortcut as desired rather than generating a full-shortcut log — but it does debug like a champ!
If you have longer or more complex shortcuts this is probably going to save you a ton of trouble. Likewise, if you're new, it's useful to really understand what your shortcut is doing.
I'm sure furutre versions will be even better, still, not so sure about the price point ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
