What it does

Instant open

Streams multi-gigabyte files without loading them into memory — a 20 GB log opens as fast as a 20 MB one.

Time-range slicing

Pull out just last night's incident window and save it as its own file.

Stackable filters

Layer include and exclude filters, plain text or regex, without re-reading the file.

Format aware

Understands IIS, Apache, nginx, syslog and JSON-lines formats out of the box.

Live tail mode

Follow a growing log in real time with your filters still applied.

Offline & private

Your logs stay exactly where they are. Nothing is indexed or uploaded.

Questions, answered

Is there a file size limit?
No practical one. Files are streamed rather than loaded, so even tens of gigabytes stay responsive.
Does it index or upload my logs?
No. Log Slice reads your files in place and never sends anything anywhere.
Is this a one-time purchase?
Yes — one payment, yours forever, with a year of free updates.
Can it watch a log that's still being written?
Yes — live tail mode follows growing files in real time, filters included.
