SwiftyBeaver is a lightweight, colorful logging framework for Swift 3, 4, and 5, supporting console, file, and cloud destinations. It works across Apple platforms and server-side Swift, with customizable formats including JSON output.

Use cases

• add colored logging to an iOS app
• log to file from a Swift command-line tool
• centralize logging for a Vapor server-side Swift app
• send Swift app logs to the cloud during release
• customize log format as JSON for structured logging
• use Apple's OSLog API from a Swift logger

When to choose

• you develop in Swift on iOS, macOS, tvOS, or Linux and need flexible multi-destination logging
• you want colored console output in Xcode plus file and cloud logging in production
• you need a lightweight, MIT-licensed logging library with Swift Package Manager support

When to avoid

• your project is not written in Swift
• you need a full observability stack with metrics and tracing rather than just logging
• you require log aggregation features beyond the SwiftyBeaver platform's destinations
