Loxx

Unlike regular text files, log files can sometimes be really troublesome to handle, especially when you need to isolate particular lines, perform special searches or just preview the data itself. Opening such files in classical text editors is one approach, but having a dedicated software to deal with them, such as Loxx can be more effective. Built in an attempt to provide a purpose-fit solution for visualizing text log files, it will offer users the means to also perform minimalist manipulation, such as bookmarking or advanced filtering.

The text editor offers its tools both as individual buttons, as well as hidden into classical menus. This is ideal for those who are accustomed to having their controls close by, yet it also provides the menu alternative for the “canonical” ones.

The on-screen controls encompass some of the most commonly used features in a text editor, such as saving or applying filters, as well as some which are custom-made for navigating through the log files’ specific structure.

Since the main target of this app is attaining more efficient handling of log files, one will be able to easily search the preferred text strings, jump from tail to tail or even apply custom filters to sift through the data.

As this is such an advanced text editor, one could have expected the ability to work with multiple tabs, and this is possible indeed. However, there is no way of applying a split-view scheme to the loaded content.

This custom-tailored text editor can prove to be a good partner when it comes to visualizing log files and navigating through their intricate structure.
