nless is a TUI for exploring streaming data, logs and tabular command output in the terminal.
It turns incoming text into columns, keeps live feeds readable with arrival timestamps, tail mode, and time windows, then lets you filter, sort, search, pivot, and reshape the result as it changes. It can also parse JSON, CSV and detect common log formats without any manual setup.
It also keeps analysis history with buffers, separates files or shell command output into buffer groups, pins columns for wide scans, and gives you raw pager mode, pipe mode, saved sessions, reusable views, and failed-line inspection.
This tool is useful for engineers watching API streams, Kubernetes events, CI pipelines, access logs, server logs and other live data as sortable tabular columns for inspection in the terminal.
