TMS Logging is a compact cross‑platform logging framework that provides informative and flexible log output to a wide variety of targets with a minimal amount of code. Designed for both VCL and FMX applications across Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, it enables developers to capture diagnostic, audit, and debugging information in a structured and flexible way. The framework supports attribute‑based log control, comprehensive RTTI-driven class and type logging, multi-threaded safety, advanced formatting, and easy integration into new or existing applications. With support for local files, console output, TCP/IP targets, browser logging, Windows Event Log, and more, TMS Logging offers a rich and extensible logging ecosystem for Delphi developers. Automatic exception logging, flexible validation features, and cloud logging integration via Exceptionless further enhance its capability as a modern, developer-friendly logging solution.
