Logspire

Log files can prove to be a very insightful tool, especially when wanting to find out more about a particular app, process, or related aspects. However, having the ability to easily visualize and manipulate such files is highly dependent on their size and content characteristics, which oftentimes can render regular text editors obsolete. Logspire, with its browser-based approach, will allow you to easily view and manipulate log files, or, if required export them.

Open both local and remote log files and preview them privately, in your browser instance

The application offers users flexibility right from the start since it enables them support for both local files, stored on their drives, or, remote content, which can be stored using FTP, HTTP, or SSH protocols.
The main working principle is minimalist, and we enjoyed previewing the log files using the simple and concise browser-based interface. We especially liked the fact that the app offers support for opening multiple files simultaneously, thanks to a tabbed approach. This offers good previewing capabilities.

Reduced number of features and options yields simple handling and efficient processing

As always, simplicity is best, and although most times it also induces some caveats, this is not the case with Logspire. Quite the contrary, we believe that the lack of more features and its overall simplicity is quite advantageous in this case.
Not only does this offer a clearer view and promote efficient handling, but it also keeps clutter at bay, making work with this app a breeze. Of course, multiple tools, such as sorting, filtering, and even exporting complete the package, making a good addition to the already solid log viewing capabilities.

Consistent log viewer that provides a different approach to opening and manipulating such files

This browser-based app offers users a straightforward yet capable way of visualizing the contents of log files, and, if required structure and export them.
