pidcat is a Python command-line script that colorizes Android logcat output and filters it to show only log entries from a specific application package. It wraps adb to make viewing app logs during Android development more convenient.
Use cases
- view colored logcat output for my android app
- filter logcat by application package name
- debug android app logs in terminal
- follow logs for an app without grepping process IDs
- readable adb logcat with colors
When to choose
- developing Android apps and wanting package-filtered, colorized logcat in the terminal
- tired of tracking changing process IDs to grep logcat
- want a simple script installable via Homebrew or AUR
When to avoid
- need a GUI log viewer like Android Studio's Logcat
- working on non-Android platforms or without adb installed
- need advanced log aggregation or persistence features
