Great little app. Does what it says, but it's not available anymore. I use v1.0.2, which was the latest I downloaded from the Times Software website. The Xlog page is now gone, though, and in the Mac AppStore (at least in my MAS-Germany) Xlog is gone too. What's up with that?

I went ahead and tried Xlog. It does what it promises and it does it well. I'm sure this will come in handy sometimes. On top of it, it's free!

Does this install anything on your computer or is it a self-contained app that doesn't alter anything on your system? Really wish this wasn't only in the App Store and could be downloaded directly from the dev.

This application seems to me very interesting. Too bad it is only possible to get it from the apple store, I avoid as much as possible. I will then not use it.
