Walog

Your CloudWatch logs, without the console.

Native macOS viewer for AWS CloudWatch Logs

The CloudWatch console is a web app: slow tabs, constant re-auth, and a UI that fights you when you are mid-incident. Walog is a native macOS app built for the way engineers actually read logs — fast startup, keyboard-driven, and quiet.

Explore, search, and live-tail log groups across every account you have access to, switch profiles without losing your place, and keep a large in-memory buffer scrolling without page reloads.

Capabilities

What it does.

Native macOS app

A real desktop app, not a browser tab — instant startup, keyboard navigation, and a log view that stays smooth under a large buffer.

Multi-account support

Switch between AWS accounts and profiles without re-authenticating through the console or losing your current view.

Fast search and live tail

Search across log groups and tail them live. Find the line you need without waiting on a web UI to repaint.

Stays on your machine

Walog talks directly to the AWS SDK from your Mac. Your log lines render in a local buffer and never pass through a third-party server.
