Editor's Overview

Logcat is a system application developed by Anton Tananaev, packaged as a single Android APK of version 2.2 weighing in at 4.57 MB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

Install Checklist

  1. Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
  2. File size is a light 4.57 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
  3. This build is signed by "Anton Tananaev" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
  4. After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
  5. We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

About this app

Read Android logs without root access. The app uses remote debugging to connect
to phone local ADB daemon. Configuring remote debugging on a phone can be
challenging and requires some technical expertise. It has to be done once and
after each device reboot.

Enable USB debugging first on your device. Navigate to Settings > About Phone
and tap Build number seven times. Go back, access the Developer options menu and
check USB debugging option.

Next step is to enable remote debugging. You need to have Android SDK installed
on your computer. Connect your phone via USB cable and run following adb
command:

adb tcpip 5555

Disconnect USB cable before trying to use the app. Some phones have problems
handling network ADB connection when they are connected via USB as well.

Sometimes establishing connection to ADB hangs and requires killing and
restarting the app. It seems to be a problem with ADB daemon itself and not the
app issue.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Logcat free to download?
Yes. The APK file linked from this page is free. The developer may offer in-app purchases once installed, but obtaining the installer itself costs nothing.

What Android version does Logcat require?
Android 4.1+ or newer. Installing on older devices may cause crashes or refuse to install.

Is Logcat safe to install?
We link to the exact APK published by Anton Tananaev. We do not modify the file. Still, as with any sideloaded app, scan it with a reputable antivirus before opening it, and only grant permissions the app genuinely needs.

How do I update Logcat?
Install the newer version on top of the old one — Android will keep your data. If the signature differs, uninstall first (you may lose local progress).

Why is the app not installing?
Common causes: not enough storage, an older Android version than 4.1+, or a conflicting build already installed. Free up space, check your OS version, and uninstall any previous copy before retrying.
