Motivation

Core Motivation

When it comes to fast and efficient debugging, developers often reach a crossroads: Should you configure and step through a debugger or insert log messages to trace your code's behavior? While debuggers are powerful and provide in-depth information, they can sometimes be an overkill for simple debugging tasks and can slow down your development process. On the other hand, log messages offer a quick and direct way to see what's happening in your code, particularly for minor bugs or during the early stages of development.

Enter Turbo Console Log, a powerful Visual Studio Code extension, designed specifically for JavaScript and TypeScript. This tool transforms the simplicity of console logging into a streamlined, automated process, turning it into an even more powerful ally in your debugging toolkit.

With the latest release v3.4.0, Turbo Console Log now provides complete console method coverage with 7 dedicated keyboard shortcuts for every console type (log, info, debug, warn, error, table, and custom). No more switching settings—just choose the exact console method you need, when you need it. The extension has been completely rebuilt with a robust AST (Abstract Syntax Tree) engine, ensuring accurate log placement and stable performance across modern JavaScript and TypeScript codebases.

Beyond just inserting log messages, Turbo Console Log offers powerful features to comment, uncomment, correct, or delete all log messages with simple shortcuts, alongside extensive customization options. This ensures the extension fits seamlessly into your JavaScript or TypeScript development workflow.

The Turbo Pro Motivation

As projects grow larger and debugging sessions become more complex, developers face a common challenge: debugging memory loss. You insert logs, run your code, check the console, then get distracted by meetings, emails, or other tasks. When you return, the debugging context is lost. Which variables did you log? Where are those logs in your massive codebase? What was the debugging strategy you were following?

Turbo Pro solves this with a lifetime license that gives you access to a native VSCode tree panel—your debugging memory. This panel automatically tracks all your log messages across your entire workspace, organizing them by file and function with color-coded console methods for instant visual recognition. With features like instant auto-sync, expand all, and seamless keyboard shortcut integration, Turbo Pro transforms debugging from a scattered, context-switching nightmare into a focused, productive workflow.

Join a thriving community of over 1.8 million developers who have chosen Turbo Console Log to supercharge their debugging process. Guided by user feedback and a commitment to excellence, both the free extension and Turbo Pro continue to evolve, meeting your debugging needs more effectively than ever.
