A minimal, colorful, leveled structured logging library for Go with a small API. It supports text, JSON, and logfmt formatters, an slog handler, and context-based logger storage.

Use cases

  • add colorful human-readable logging to a Go app
  • structured leveled logging with a small API
  • emit JSON or logfmt logs from Go services
  • use a custom slog handler in Go
  • store and retrieve a logger via Go context

When to choose

  • you want pretty, human-readable terminal logs in Go
  • you need leveled structured logging with minimal setup
  • you're already using the Charm ecosystem (Lip Gloss, Bubble Tea)

When to avoid

  • you need high-throughput machine-parsed logging at scale
  • you require log shipping or aggregation built in
  • you need a logging framework with plugins and appenders
