This is a forked version of Laughing Logger WITHOUT unnecessary features; ads, analytics, and internet permission. A lot of improvements have been made and fixed stuck on loading screen. Logs will be saved on /internal storage/Laughing Logger/ and /internal storage/Documents/Laughing Logger/ instead. If you already have Laughing Logger installed, please uninstall it and install this forked version instead
It's CatLog, but with material goodness.
Graphical log reader for Android. Based on Daniel Ciao's Matlog Github
which is based on Nolan Lawson's CatLog: Github

Overview
Laughing Logger is a free and open-source material-style log reader for Android based on CatLog.
It shows a scrolling (tailed) view of the Android "logcat" system log, hence the goofy name.
It also allows you to record logs in real time, send logs via email, and filter using a variety of criteria.

FAQs
Some FAQ Taken from CatLog:
How to access system logs without root?
Laughing Logger doesn't have the permission necessary to access logcat. You'll only see its own logs.
In order to grant Laughing Logger the permission to access system logs, connect your device to a computer with Android SDK installed and run the following command (only need to be done once): adb shell pm grant org.laughing.loggerlibre android.permission.READ_LOGS
Why I can't save logs or start recording ?
The applications might be missing "Storage" permission if you are on an older Android version (Android 10 or less) and/or READ_LOGS permission has not been granted.
Where are the logs saved?
On the internal storage, under /internal storage/Laughing Logger/ if on Android 10 or below,
under /internal storage/Documents/Laughing Logger/ if on Android 11 or above.
How to I access saved logs ?
A simple "file manager" application you can us is Files by Google.
I can't see any logs!
This problem typically shows up on custom ROMs. First off, try an alternative logging app, to verify that the problem is with your ROM and not MatLog.
Next, see if your ROM offers system-wide settings to disable logging. Be sure to reboot after you change anything.
If that still doesn't work, you can contact the creator of your ROM to file a bug/RFE.
