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

|
Alternatives:
