A structured logger for MSBuild that records executed targets, tasks, properties, and item values into a portable binary format (*.binlog). It ships with a rich interactive log viewer (WPF on Windows, Avalonia on Mac/Linux) to simplify build investigations.

Use cases

  • investigate why my msbuild build is slow
  • view msbuild binlog files interactively
  • debug build errors with structured target and task logs
  • record and share build logs for CI troubleshooting
  • inspect msbuild property and item values during a build
  • analyze dotnet build output in a searchable viewer

When to choose

  • you build .NET projects with MSBuild or dotnet build and need to diagnose build issues
  • you need a portable, structured build log format to share with teammates or CI
  • you want a cross-platform GUI to explore large, verbose build logs

When to avoid

  • you need logging for build systems other than MSBuild (e.g., Make, Gradle, Bazel)
  • you only need simple console build output without structured analysis
  • you are not working in the .NET/MSBuild ecosystem
