Free Chrome extension

Salesforce debug logs,
made readable.

Raw debug logs are thousands of lines of noise. Debug Log Beautifier pulls out what matters: your System.debug output as clean JSON, errors and stack traces first, governor limits at a glance.

Dashboard with recent logs, a formatted debug message, a fatal error with its stack trace and governor limits — Errors and stack traces first. JSON formatted. Governor limits at a glance.

Four steps.
No config files.

01InstallAdd Debug Log Beautifier to Chrome from the Web Store. It’s free.
02ConnectOpen your Salesforce org, click the extension icon, then Generate to log in with Salesforce (OAuth with PKCE).
03Open the dashboardPress Alt+Shift+D (⌥⇧D on Mac). A 45‑minute debug trace flag turns on for you.
04Debug as usualKeep writing System.debug. Your logs arrive already beautified.

AnyClass.cls Apex

// Built in. Works out of the box
System.debug(accounts);

// Pretty JSON is shown the way it should look
System.debug(JSON.serializePretty(accounts));

// Optional Console class, one click to deploy
Console.log('My Accounts', accounts);

All three show up as clean, highlighted JSON

Your logs never leave your browser.

The extension talks only to your Salesforce org, with your own session or OAuth token. There is no server in between.

Questions, answered.

Is it free?

Yes. Install it from the Chrome Web Store and log in with your own Salesforce account. There is no separate sign-up.

Which orgs does it work with?

Production, sandbox, scratch and Developer Edition orgs, including My Domain, Lightning and Setup domains.

Do I need JSON.serialize in my code?

No. Plain System.debug of records, lists, maps, sets and wrapper classes is turned into JSON for you, and JSON.serializePretty output is shown the way it should look.

Will it delete my debug logs?

No. Opening the dashboard turns on a 45-minute USER_DEBUG trace flag for you if none is active, and when it expires the extension simply forgets it. Logs are only deleted when you delete them, or if you turn on automatic cleanup, which is off by default.

Since September 2025 Salesforce can block apps that are not installed in your org. Ask your admin to install it (Setup › Connected Apps OAuth Usage › Install), or create your own External Client App and paste its consumer key under OAuth setup in the dashboard.

What happens to my data?

It stays in your browser. The extension talks only to your Salesforce org, with your own session or OAuth token. No analytics, no tracking, no external servers, and you can revoke the token at any time. Privacy policy.
