A zero-dependency logging library for Electron, Node.js, and NW.js applications that writes logs to console and platform-appropriate file locations. It supports log levels, pluggable transports, and logging from main, renderer, and preload processes.

Use cases

• add file logging to an electron app
• log from electron renderer process
• simple logger with no dependencies for node.js
• write app logs to user data directory
• capture logs from electron main and preload scripts
• customize log format and transports in electron

When to choose

• building an Electron, NW.js, or plain Node.js app and want simple, zero-config logging
• you need logs written to standard OS log locations on Windows, macOS, and Linux
• you want logging across main, renderer, and preload processes with minimal setup

When to avoid

• you need structured/centralized logging with shipping to external services like ELK or Datadog
• you need high-performance async logging for server-side workloads
• your project doesn't use Electron, Node.js, or NW.js
