NSLogger-CocoaLumberjack-connector
A bridge that lets iOS and macOS apps send their internal log messages to a desktop viewer tool, making it easier for developers to read and debug app behavior in real time. The project is now abandoned.
This project, NSLogger-CocoaLumberjack-connector, was originally built to bridge two popular tools used by iOS and macOS developers: one for logging diagnostic information from within an app, and another for sending that information to a desktop viewer for easier reading. Think of it as a translator that lets messages flow smoothly between two systems that otherwise wouldn't talk to each other directly.
At a high level, the connector would take error messages and debug notes generated inside a mobile app and route them to a separate viewing tool running on the developer's computer. This made it easier to monitor app behavior in real time without cluttering up the code or relying solely on basic text output.
The audience for this would have been mobile app developers working in Apple's ecosystem who wanted a more visual, organized way to track what was happening inside their software, especially when hunting down bugs or monitoring performance.
The project is now abandoned. The author recommends using a different connector instead, which is actively maintained by another developer.
Where it fits
- Send debug messages from your iOS or macOS app to a desktop log viewer for easier reading.
- Monitor app behavior in real time while hunting down bugs without cluttering your code.
- Track app performance issues by routing diagnostic logs to an organized external viewer.
