PHP Log Parser

Overview

A native desktop app for engineers who spend their afternoons inside PHP error logs. Log Parser turns a wall-of-text php_errors.log into something you can navigate: grouped stack traces, filterable severity, and a timeline that makes 'when did this start' a two-click question.

Challenge

PHP logs are one of the noisiest diagnostic surfaces in web development; thousands of lines an hour, stack traces wrapped across fifteen rows, and the same warning repeated five hundred times. Most existing tools either charge per seat for features you could write in a weekend, or insist on piping your logs through a SaaS you never wanted to pipe them through.

Approach

We are building a local-first desktop app that reads raw log files off disk, parses PHP's multi-line formats, and groups repeated entries by signature so the same fatal error surfaces once with a count. Search, level filters (NOTICE / WARNING / ERROR / FATAL), and jumping to a specific time range are all one keystroke away. Nothing leaves the machine.

Outcome

Currently in private beta with a handful of Drupal and Laravel teams. Public release targeted for later in 2026.
