Redirect console prints from Xcode

While developping an app for an iPad on my Mac, I use print logs to monitor what is going on (regular prints in Swift code). However I really don't like the Xcode console, and I'd like to be able to redirect the stream to a file, where I can then read it with a better log viewer (and add color!).

I'm executing the app in debug mode through Wifi on my iPad, but I want the logs on my Mac, so storing the logs to a file on the device is not really interesting (SO question here). Wrapping the debugger executable seems interesting, as suggested here but I couldn't find anything more recent (with lldb).

Alternatively, I could also run the debugger from the console and handler the redirection from there, but I don't know how to do that for debugging on a remote device over WiFi.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
