Read your logs like a human.

Everything you need when something is broken

No more scrolling through huge text files or running ssh + tail -f + grep by hand.

• Open any log file

  Use the file dialog, drag and drop, or pick from recent files.

• Live tail

  Follow new entries as they arrive. Pause to read, and a “N new entries” pill shows what you missed.

• Format detection

  Laravel, NestJS, JSON lines, nginx and Apache are detected automatically. Override it when you need to.

• Search and level filters

  Text search with an optional regex toggle, and level filters that show counts.

• Light and dark, keyboard first

  Both themes are fully designed, and shortcuts cover the common actions.

Live tail over SSH

Tail a log on your server with your existing ~/.ssh/config and keys. No passwords stored, nothing installed on the server.

Tabs

Keep several logs open at once and switch between them.

Merged timeline

App, API and nginx logs in one list, sorted by time and color-coded per source.

Saved filters

Save a search and its level filters, then reuse them on any file.

Detail panel

The full message, pretty-printed JSON context, and stack traces with vendor and node_modules frames collapsed.

Desktop notifications

Get a desktop notification when an error is logged.

SSH, without the setup

• Tailhound uses the ssh already on your machine, your keys and your ~/.ssh/config.
• Key-based only. Tailhound never sees or stores a password.
• Nothing is installed on the server. It runs the same command you would:

ssh deploy@shop-prod-1 "tail -F /var/www/shop/storage/logs/laravel.log"

Free, for real

Every feature is free. No account, no license key, no trial.

Tailhound is free. If it saves you time, you can buy me a coffee.
