About:
Rogcat is a command-line interface tool that serves as a modern wrapper for Android Debug Bridge (ADB) logcat. It enhances the standard logcat output by adding colorization, filtering, and process tagging capabilities. This makes debugging Android applications significantly easier by improving log readability and allowing developers to focus on relevant information.

Key Features:

Colorized log output for improved readability
Advanced filtering by process name, tag, or log level
Record and save logs to files for later analysis
Supports custom profiles for different filtering needs

Use Cases:

Debugging Android applications by filtering noisy log output
Monitoring specific app processes in real-time during development
Recording device logs for bug reports or performance analysis

Alternatives:

pidcat – pidcat is a Python script focused on colorizing logs by application package, while rogcat offers more advanced filtering and recording features.
logcat – The native ADB logcat is the raw tool; rogcat provides a user-friendly wrapper with enhanced formatting and filtering capabilities.
