If you develop on the Salesforce platform, you already know the pain of Apex debug logs. You run a process, hit an error, and are suddenly staring at a 20MB wall of text. Trying to manually trace a METHOD_ENTRY to its corresponding METHOD_EXIT or hunting down a specific SOQL query limit feels like finding a needle in a haystack.
While there are a few online formatters out there, they share one massive flaw: Security.
Salesforce debug logs often contain sensitive org data, proprietary logic, and occasionally user PII. Uploading these logs to a random third-party server just to format them is a major security risk.
Thatβs why I built a solution that runs entirely in your browser.
The Solution: SyntaxFiddle Salesforce Debug Log Analyzer
I added a new Salesforce Debug Log Analyzer to SyntaxFiddle. It is designed to instantly parse massive log files without ever sending a single byte of your data to a server.

Key Features
100% Client-Side Processing: The core philosophy here is privacy. The parsing happens locally in your browser's memory using JavaScript. No database, no server uploads, and absolutely zero tracking.
Clean Execution Trees: Instead of raw text, the analyzer visually structures your log into a collapsible execution tree, making it easy to see exactly which methods are calling what.
Instant Limit & Exception Highlighting: Stop scrolling endlessly to find out where you hit a governor limit or threw a null pointer exception. The tool flags these critical events so you can jump straight to the root cause.
Blazing Fast: Since there is no network latency involved in uploading or downloading the parsed logs, the rendering happens almost instantly, even for hefty files.
Try it out
If you are tired of wrestling with raw logs or worrying about org data leaks, give it a spin.

Iβm continuously looking to improve the tool and add more developer-focused utilities to the suite. Drop a comment below if you have any feature requests, feedback, or if you run into any edge cases with specific log structures. Happy debugging!
