logdy-core: View and Filter Logs in a Local Web UI

Logdy turns command output, files, and other log inputs into a live browser-based viewer with filtering and custom parsing. It suits developers who want a lightweight local alternative to switching between terminal tools and a separate log platform.

+15 stars in the last 30 days

Logdy is a focused, convenient local log viewer, but its inactive maintenance status makes it a cautious choice for new long-term dependencies.

Good fit if

  • You want a local browser UI for logs from files, stdin, sockets, or a Go application.
  • A single binary and an embedded UI are preferable to deploying a separate logging service.
  • You can evaluate and operate the tool despite no commits in over a year and no releases in the last year.

Look elsewhere if

  • You need evidence of active maintenance or recent issue and pull request handling before adopting a tool. The project has had no recent commits, releases, issue closures, or merged pull requests in the measured periods.
  • You need a maintained, multi-contributor development cadence. Six contributors are recorded, and contribution is not marked as concentrated, but recent activity is absent.
  • Your requirement is a broader logging platform rather than a local viewer and input utility.

Overview

Logdy is a Go-based log viewer that serves an embedded web interface from a single binary. It gathers logs from sources such as stdin, files, sockets, and a REST API, then lets developers inspect and filter them in a browser.

It is intended for local development and self-hosted workflows where a quick view of live logs is useful without deploying a larger logging stack. It can also be embedded as a logging library in Go applications.

Key Features

  • Live browser UI for viewing and filtering incoming logs.
  • Input modes for stdin, followed files, sockets, and REST API.
  • Custom parsers and columns, with TypeScript support in the UI.
  • Go library integration for sending plain-text or structured log fields.
  • Single-binary distribution with the web UI embedded.
  • Optional UI password and API key settings.
  • Configurable message buffer and optional append-to-file logging.

Use Cases

  • A developer pipes a local process's output into Logdy to inspect logs while working on an application.
  • A developer follows one or more log files and filters entries in the browser instead of repeatedly searching in a terminal.
  • A Go application team embeds Logdy to view structured application logs during development.
  • A self-hosting operator sends log messages to a local socket and uses the browser UI for short-term inspection.

What you need

Detected in the repository

  • Go 1.23.2 or newer (from go.mod)
  • A Dockerfile, so it can run in a container
  • A test suite and automated checks on GitHub Actions

License in plain words

Apache-2.0permissive

  • Commercial use: yes
  • Modify and redistribute: yes
  • You must keep: the license, the NOTICE file and a note of your changes
  • Share your changes: no

Getting Started

Install with the project script and pipe a command's output into Logdy:

curl https://logdy.dev/install.sh | sh
node index.js | logdy

See the README and quick-start documentation for other installation and input modes.

Considerations

The repository is marked inactive, with no commits for over a year and no releases in the past year. The measured data also shows no recent issue closures or merged pull requests, so teams should assess their tolerance for unaddressed maintenance needs before relying on it. The project requires Go 1.23.2 to build from source; the README also describes precompiled binaries and installation options. Its Apache-2.0 license is permissive, subject to its license terms.
