About:
Viddy is a modern alternative to the traditional watch command, providing real-time monitoring of command output with enhanced visual features. It offers a polished terminal interface with syntax highlighting, configurable intervals, and the ability to pause and replay output. Its main value is making long-running command monitoring more interactive and visually informative.
Key Features:
  • Real-time command output monitoring with configurable refresh intervals
  • Syntax highlighting for improved readability of output
  • Pause, replay, and diff modes for inspecting changes over time
  • Customizable color schemes and display options
  • Mouse support for interactive control in the terminal
Use Cases:
  • Monitoring log files or process outputs for changes during development or debugging
  • Observing system metrics (like disk usage or network stats) in real-time with a clearer display
Alternatives:
  • watch – Traditional Unix watch command; viddy offers a modernized UI with syntax highlighting and more interactive features
  • htop – Interactive process viewer; viddy is more general-purpose for any command output, not just processes
