Console’s review
· Reviewed by David Mytton
What we like
Point at a directory and it auto-detects file formats, parses, colorizes, merges, and displays them in your terminal. Can pretty print structured data e.g. JSON. Search as you type also streams in new log lines. Sessions can be restored. Query and filter the logs with SQL, which includes “virtual tables” to allow for comments, tags, and bookmarking.
Tradeoffs
Official downloads don’t include Arm binaries (although the macOS version via Homebrew is compiled for Apple Silicon). Does not inherit the terminal theme - need to configure custom colors separately.
