Report a Problem

How to record what the app does when a problem happens, and send the recording to the developer.

Checked with Swift Salamander 0.8.184 on 8 October 2026.

A recording shows the developer what the app did before the problem. Make the recording first, then report the problem.

Record the Problem

  1. Choose Settings > Advanced, then open Logging and Diagnostics.
  2. Click Diagnostics….
  3. Click Start Recording.
  4. Do the thing that causes the problem.
  5. Click Stop and Save.

A recording at the Trace level writes a lot to the file. After you finish, set the log level back to Error.

Send the Recording

  1. Open https://logs.swiftsalamander.app in your browser.
  2. Upload the file you saved.
  3. Copy the code the site gives you.
  4. Open Help > Report a Bug… from the menu bar, describe the problem, and paste the code into the report.
