SFBCrashReporter
I’ve always thought it’s a shame that the crash reporting facilities in Mac OS X weren’t more extensible. While Apple’s Crash Reporter does a great job of creating crash logs containing useful information, they can be sent automatically only to Apple.
Other developers have created their own crash reporting frameworks- UKCrashReporter and CMCrashReporter to name just two- but for whatever reason none of them floated my boat.
Enter SFBCrashReporter- a framework that does what many other frameworks do; keep watch on application startup for new crash logs and allow users to submit them to the developer.
Here is a screenshot of the main window:

[...] SFBCrashReporter and CMCrashReporter are each quite similar to UKCrashReporter, detecting crash logs at application launch time, and offering to submit them via HTTP POST to a URL of your choosing. [...]
