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
