It leverages fzf to provide a simple yet powerful user interface, fuzzy-finding capabilities, and much more. Motivation While Android Studio's logcat viewer is sufficient for most app development, it breaks down when exposed to situations such as terminal-only access or when multiple devices need to be accessed quickly. When performing development on the Android operating system itself, developers revert to using raw adb logcat in shell. This is sub-optimal and wastes a lot of time on writing grep statements and rooting through uncolored, unfiltered text with poor user experience. purr is meant as a solution to this; a powerful logcat viewer running entirely on the shell, capable of going through millions of logs quickly, while leveraging other shell-based solutions for common problems. Purr can be used for simple app debugging, in which it provides a quicker interface than standard Logcat. https://github.com/google/purr/assets/126256142/527bb85d-bf50-4ea8-b74f-7751098a3162 For more complex diagnosis, purr shines in quickly jumping around and isolating relevant logs. https://github.com/google/purr/assets/126256142/fa490ac4-4f20-4049-87df-ffb2b10c3fb2 There's even a mode to search through adb shell results; no more grepping through dumpsys! https://github.com/google/purr/assets/126256142/fb41ec9d-f5a7-43be-98be-9d04ed7b536e Installation Homebrew Manual 1.
