TinyConsole is a small Swift library that embeds an on-device log console into iOS apps, letting developers print, colorize, and clear log messages without a Mac connection. It wraps your root view controller and toggles the console by shaking the device.
Use cases
- debug an iOS app on a physical device without Xcode attached
- show log output to testers in the field
- print colored error messages inside the app
- add orientation markers and clear logs at runtime
- toggle a debug console by shaking the device
When to choose
- you need on-device logging where no development computer is available
- you want a lightweight, drop-in console for UIKit apps
- you distribute builds to testers who need to see logs
When to avoid
- you only debug with Xcode or Console.app attached
- your app is built with SwiftUI and you prefer modern tooling
- you need advanced features like network request inspection or crash reporting
