Logger for Shortcuts

A logging console for Apple Shortcuts with dedicated actions, real-time messages, filters and text or Markdown export.

Our take

Consider for debugging complex personal shortcuts

Messages can be inspected together and filtered instead of repeatedly interrupting a shortcut with separate preview steps.

Keep in mind: It logs what the shortcut sends; it does not automatically prove correctness or replace careful inspection of a failing action.

What you can do

  • Write console messages using Shortcuts actions
  • Filter by category, device, date, content or tags
  • Synchronize described messages through iCloud
  • Export logs and set automatic removal of old entries

Good for

  • Shortcut authors who want a persistent view of intermediate values and events.

Consider alternatives for

  • Users expecting automatic repair or a full debugger for arbitrary app internals.

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 15.0.
  • It logs what the shortcut sends; it does not automatically prove correctness or replace careful inspection of a failing action.

Privacy & permissions

Logs may contain tokens, filenames, personal data or document excerpts. Inspect what is recorded before iCloud synchronization or export.
