pino-utils

pino-utils v1.4.0 is a zero-dependency, colorized logger utility for Node.js that provides a higher-level API over pino with emoji icons, ISO timestamps, and six log levels (trace, debug, info, warn, error, fatal). It ships TypeScript definitions and supports both ESM and CJS. Similar to pino-pretty but packaged as a standalone logger rather than a transport, it offers immediate usability without additional configuration. The package is actively maintained with a moderate release cadence and is ideal for projects wanting a prettified console logger without pulling in heavy formatters.
