Logger for Shortcuts

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.

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.

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)_/¯
