Log Viewer: Large Text Files

Descripción

Open a log file of any size and start reading immediately. Log Viewer memory-maps the file instead of loading it, so a two-gigabyte log opens as fast as a two-kilobyte one. Paste a copied terminal or CI excerpt with Command-V when you only need a quick look. It opens as a temporary log for searching and filtering, never appears in Recent Files, and is removed when you close it. Filter a million lines down to the handful that matter, then export that filtered view as a new file when you need a separate extract. Open another log beside the first to compare an incident, a rotation or two environments without juggling tabs. Follow a file as it's being written. Read the color codes a terminal log carries instead of printing them as text. Color-code severity so problems are visible while scrolling. Redact sensitive values before they leave the app. Turn on local redaction to mask enabled token, email and IP rules in normal Copy and filtered Export, while the open log and source file stay exactly as they are. Free, with no accounts, no network, and no in-app purchases. Nothing you open ever leaves your Mac. Open files with Command-O or drag and drop, including /var/log; a few system logs are root-only. OPEN ANYTHING, INSTANTLY - Gigabyte files open in milliseconds, at any size - Line indexing streams in behind the content, so nothing blocks reading - Memory stays flat - the file is mapped, never loaded - Opens files other viewers refuse: invalid encodings, no trailing newline, binary bytes, a single enormous line PASTE A COPIED EXCERPT - Command-V opens copied plain-text logs without making you save a file first - Pasted logs are private and temporary: no Recent Files entry, no stray file left behind FILTER, DON'T JUST SEARCH - Filter mode collapses the file to the matching lines - Original line numbers are kept, and every gap is drawn as an explicit break - Optional surrounding lines for context - Literal and regular-expression queries, with match positions marked on the scrollbar - Results stream in while the search is still running - Export the completed filtered view to a new file without changing the original log COMPARE LOGS SIDE BY SIDE - File > Open Beside opens a second log in its own window next to the one you are reading - The two windows stay independent: filter one, follow the other, or open different files from two environments - When there is room, the windows arrange themselves side by side; use the native Window menu to merge or separate tabs later FOLLOW A FILE AS IT'S WRITTEN - Pin to the bottom and the window follows new lines - Scroll away and it stops, tells you how many lines arrived, and waits - Survives truncation, rotation and deletion without losing what you were reading READS TERMINAL COLOR, DOESN'T PRINT IT - Logs captured from docker compose or a CI run carry their color as escape codes - Log Viewer paints them and hides the codes - or drops them, or leaves them visible - Often more of the window's width back than the messages themselves take - Copying a line gives you what you could see, not the codes you couldn't REDACT BEFORE SHARING - Local Token, Email and IP rules are editable and ordered - Regular Copy and filtered Export apply enabled masks without a second command or prompt - The source file and on-screen log are never changed A REAL MAC APP - Light and dark, both designed rather than inverted - Native window tabbing, Command-Option-Arrow between tabs, find bar, and menus - Editable highlight rules - pattern to text color and line tint, in the order you choose - Select across lines by dragging, or whole lines from the gutter - Adjustable text size, recent files, Go to Line, copy selected lines - Optionally remember each log's search, Filter, Follow state and reading position when you reopen it PRIVACY No accounts, no network, no telemetry, no analytics. The app has no way to send your logs anywhere, because it has no networking code at all.

The change restores the Log Viewer redaction switch in settings and improves reliability when opening extremely large log files.
