logdy

Logdy is a lightweight, single‑binary log viewer that runs locally and presents terminal output through an embedded web interface. It can consume logs from files, standard input, sockets, or a REST API, and offers real‑time filtering and column customization with TypeScript‑enabled parsers. The tool operates without external dependencies, ensuring security and privacy while providing a familiar command‑line experience comparable to utilities such as grep or jq.

Developers can invoke Logdy directly from a shell pipeline, for example by piping `tail -f` or any program’s output into the binary, after which a browser window at http://localhost:8080 displays the logs. The same binary can be used as a Go library, allowing applications to log structured messages programmatically and benefit from the same web UI for debugging or monitoring.

The project distributes precompiled binaries for multiple platforms, supports installation via a script, Homebrew, or direct download, and includes documentation on command modes, custom parsers, and Go integration. It is actively maintained, with new features added regularly.
