Safe from the Losing Fight

A new version of Log Leech is out today. It updates the Mac version by doing some UI clean up, improving HTML export, adding a log entry detail view, and improving performance and stability. In addition, version 1.5 introduces a universal iOS version of the app. The iOS version is quite similar to the Mac version; the main difference is instead of providing an export function, it allows you to email the logs to the address of your choice.

The 1.5 release for Mac is free for existing customers, and $9.99 for new customers. It can be found either in Fortunate Bear’s online store or Apple’s Mac App Store. The iOS version is $4.99, and can be found in the App Store.

See the press release for more information.

Today I completed the acquisition of another small software company, Creastoric. If you don’t know, Creastoric was the creator of Log Leech, an application that has an innovative way of viewing and navigating system logs. If you’re the kind of person who needs to deal with logs, I encourage you to check it out.

I think the product (as a system utility) fits well with my existing Mac product, Illuminate. Both are kind of power user products, and I’m hoping there is some overlap in the audience. Either way, it’s exciting to see my product portfolio expand. I have a lot planned for Log Leech and Illuminate.

Anyway, you can get all the details of the acquisition in the press release.
