LogCat is an adb logcat viewer written in Objective-C and designed with Apple's Human Interface Guidelines in mind. It uses the native GUI views and is a lot nicer for the eyes than the Eclipse plugins.

Originally written by Janusz Bossy who is a mobile device programmer. He's been working with Windows Mobile and iOS for quite some time. When Janusz started Android development he found Eclipse as the main frustration generator. It offers a lot of tools to get the job done but the quality of their design is poor. Janusz started using eclim on a regular basis which allowed him to write code in Vim but he was lacking a small app that would display Android logs and allow for easy filtering and searching within them. Here it is - LogCat - a simple log viewer for Android.

• Advanced log filtering
• Filter with multiple filters at one time
• Definable filters for quick access to frequently checked logs. Filterable by:
  • message,
  • log type,
  • tag,
  • PID,
  • TID,
  • Timestamp
• "Intelligent" automatic scroll
• Ability to change font color and style for different log types
• Capture screen shots right from LogCat
• Can send typed characters to device
