Glogg for Windows

glogg is a log file viewer software built for quickly inspecting and navigating large text logs. Developed with performance in mind, it allows you to search across files in real-time without loading the entire content into memory. 

It features a simple design that displays plain text. When you search, it highlights what you're looking for immediately, and it even lets you do advanced searches for patterns that span multiple lines. Designed as a read-only viewer, glogg doesn’t alter your files, serving as a helpful tool for developers, sysadmins, or users who routinely parse massive logs for specific strings or patterns.

Search-centered navigation

glogg lets you search through big text files as you type, right as it's happening. It offers real-time search with regular expression (regex) support, allowing you to find complex, multi-line patterns instantly. The visible search box shows results as you type, and you can jump between matches effortlessly. Highlighting and navigation remain smooth, even in huge files, with its efficient, no-load approach.

Search hits are displayed in a result index panel, listing every match by line number. Clicking any entry in the list jumps to the corresponding location in the log file, while a separate view provides surrounding context. You can toggle how much before-and-after text is shown, allowing more focused inspection. It also supports following live logs, like tail -f, to display new content as it arrives.

The interface is minimal yet functional and consistent across operating systems. You can open multiple files in tabs, with each tab operating independently. Settings like font size and encoding can be customized per file. Though it doesn't support editing or annotation, its read-only design prevents accidental changes. Line wrapping, syntax coloring for matches, and encoding auto-detection make it handy for structured logs or plaintext alike.

Fast text analysis

glogg swiftly reads massive logs, offering real-time regex searches with indexed results for quick navigation. It is a read-only tool that will not alter your files. While its interface is straightforward and lacks editing capabilities, it is effective at viewing and analyzing text logs without taxing your computer's resources. It's perfect if you need a fast and direct way to look through logs.
