Its release history in GitHub begins in early 2024, and the README identifies v0.17.0 as the June 2025 release line. The project is implemented as a Go backend with embedded UI assets and can also be used as a Go library. Its release process publishes precompiled binaries for Linux, macOS, and Windows-style targets from GitHub releases. ### Adoption history Logdy is young compared with the other packages in this batch. Official project materials frame it around local developer productivity rather than fleet-scale log aggregation: piping `tail -f`, Node.js, Docker, Kubernetes, journalctl, or application output into a browser UI. Package adoption is still narrow but visible: the supplied metadata records Homebrew and Nix packages, while the README documents Homebrew installation and direct binary downloads from GitHub releases. ### How it is used Typical use is `tail -f file.log | logdy`, `logdy follow app-out.log --full-read`, or `logdy stdin "npm run dev"`. The web UI defaults to localhost port 8080, and the CLI supports modes for stdin, files, sockets, REST forwarding, demos, and utility operations. Logdy can accept an optional JSON UI config path with `--config`, but the path is user supplied rather than a documented default config-file location. It also exposes flags for an API key, UI password, append-to-file behavior, message buffer size, and analytics/update opt-outs. ### Why package nerds care Logdy represents the modern single-binary developer-tool pattern: a Go executable embeds a browser UI, ships cross-platform binaries, and becomes useful immediately through a pipe. Package managers make that workflow feel like installing grep or jq, even though the tool launches a local web app. ### Timeline - 2024: Early public GitHub releases begin, including v0.5.0 in February and v0.13.0 in July. - 2025: v0.14.x, v0.15.0, v0.16.0, and v0.17.x releases are published. - 2025: README identifies v0.17.0 as the June 1, 2025 latest-version announcement. ### Related projects - tail, grep, awk, sed, jq, and less: command-line tools used by Logdy's README as workflow comparisons. - logdy-ui: the UI project embedded into the logdy-core binary. ### Sources - - - - - source_facts.package-manager ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** logdy - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Nix - logdy: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/lo/logdy/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Related links - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [go](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [clog](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/clog/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, logging, logs. - [fblog](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/fblog/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, logging, logs. - [hl](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/hl/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, logging, logs. - [humanlog](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/humanlog/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, logging, logs. - [tailspin](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/tailspin/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, logging, logs. - [log4c](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/log4c/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, logging. - [log4cpp](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/log4cpp/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, logging. - [nerdlog](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/nerdlog/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, logging. - [goaccess](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/goaccess/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
