About Logcat Reader
Logcat Reader makes it easy to view and save the device logs. Features: * Color coded logs based on log priority * Search through log messages and tags * Option to select from available log buffers¹ * Save the logs as a simple text file (as you would see via logcat) * Dark UI theme (switches on at night automatically by default) ¹ May not work on all devices, in which case, the option will simply not be present in Settings.
Privacy and F-Droid
F-Droid builds Logcat Reader from its published source code and flags anti-features such as ads, tracking or reliance on non-free services.
No anti-features flagged on the latest F-Droid build.
