There's also Logdy (https://github.com/logdyhq/logdy-core) that can work with raw files and comes with a UI as well in a single precompiled binary so no need for installs and setups. If you're looking for a simple solution for browsing log files with a web UI, this might be it! (I'm the author)

Heyo I’ve noticed Lodgy come up a few times on HN now, and was curious if you explored making it a proper desktop application instead of a two-part UI and CLI application. Did you rule that out for some reason?

I'm not ruling that out, however there was no user feedback that's the use case honestly. So far users love that they can just drop a binary on a remote server and sping up a web UI. Similar with the local env. The nature of Logdy is that it's primarily designed to work in the CLI. What would be the use case for a desktop app?
