@buoy-gg/console

Capture every console.log, warn, and error from your React Native app in a Chrome-DevTools-style panel — filterable, on-device, no cable or Flipper needed.

Part of Buoy — devtools that live inside your React Native app. Install it and it auto-appears in the floating menu from @buoy-gg/core.

Install

npm install @buoy-gg/core @buoy-gg/console

Quick start

Zero config. Install the package and the Console tool auto-appears in the floating menu, with capture starting at app launch — logs emitted before you open the tool are retained:

import { FloatingDevTools } from "@buoy-gg/core";

export default function App() {
  return (
    <>
      {/* your app */}
      <FloatingDevTools />  {/* Console tool auto-detected, capture auto-starts */}
    </>
  );
}

That's the whole setup — it patches console.* directly, so no logger integration or Babel plugin is required.

Upgrading? Older versions required mounting <ConsoleRoot /> manually. That's automatic now; an existing manual mount is harmless (capture install is idempotent) and can be deleted.

What you get

• Everything logged, everywhere — patches console.* directly, so logs from your own code and your dependencies are captured with no extra setup.
• Live, color-coded stream — log, info, warn, and error stream in as they happen, color-coded by level.
• Chrome-DevTools-style panel — a 1:1 port of the Chrome console view: objects and arrays are formatted and expandable, just like the browser.
• Filter by level — focus on just errors and warnings when you're chasing a bug.
• Search — filter messages by substring to find the exact log you care about.
• Preserve log — an optional setting keeps the buffer across reloads, honored from the very first log.
• Read production logs — Buoy runs on-device in any build, so you can read console output from a release build with no cable and no Metro connection.

Desktop & AI

The same live session streams to Buoy Desktop (free, macOS/Windows/Linux) and to Claude Code or Cursor via the Buoy MCP server — its get_console tool lets an agent read the console tail, filtered by minimum level or message substring.

Free vs Pro

Every tool is free. Pro unlocks production builds, the MCP server, and unlimited capture. Every weekend, Pro features unlock free for everyone.
