Why MacLogger

Console.app was built for Apple engineers.
MacLogger was built for you.

  • Crash reports open as raw text with no structured view

✅ MacLogger

  • Color-coded severity badges at a glance
  • Process names translated to plain English
  • AI explains any log entry in human language
  • Click-to-filter dropdowns that cascade automatically

Severity at a Glance

Color is your first filter.

Fault kernel: panic — userspace watchdog timeout: no successful checkin from WindowServer
Error com.apple.TimeMachine: Failed to complete backup — error 19
Notice bluetoothd: Bluetooth module power state changed to ON
Info loginwindow: TALLogNotification — user activity detected
Debug mDNSResponder: DNSServiceRegister callback — flags=2, ifi=0
Features

Everything you need to diagnose Mac issues.

🔴

Severity Filtering

One-click toggles for Fault, Error, Notice, Info, and Debug. Defaults to Fault + Error so problems surface first.

🤖

AI Log Explainer

Click any log entry and get a plain English explanation: what it means, is it concerning, and what to do about it.

🔍

Cascading Filters

Process, Subsystem, and Type dropdowns that cascade with every active filter. Dynamic widths, auto-clearing, zero dead ends.

💥

Crash Log Viewer

Browse .ips and .crash reports with structured metadata, faulting thread, and AI-powered crash analysis.

🔄

Live Tail

Real-time log monitoring with auto-scroll, pause detection, and Jump to Bottom. Respects all active filters.

📁

.logarchive Support

Open archived log bundles from disk or collect system logs with one click. All filters work on archive data.

🏷️

Process Translation

Raw identifiers become plain English. AI auto-learns new process names with every explanation.

🔎

Proactive Analysis

AI scans your filtered logs and surfaces the top 3-5 entries or patterns worth investigating.

🎨

Light & Dark Themes

Pastel severity backgrounds in light mode, vivid colored text in dark mode. Follows system or set manually.

MacLogger

From broken to fixed — fast.

Everything you need to troubleshoot your Mac.

MacLogger translates the macOS Unified Log into something a Windows admin can actually read. Severity colors, plain-English process names, cascading filters, and an AI explainer that tells you what any log entry means — and whether you should care.
