nless
A TUI pager for exploring and analyzing tabular data from logs, CSV, JSON, and streams with vi-like keybindings.
What is nless?
nless is a terminal user interface (TUI) pager designed for exploring and analyzing tabular data in real-time. It automatically infers structure from piped input, allowing users to filter, sort, pivot, and reshape data without configuration. Built for streaming data like logs and Kubernetes events, it combines the power of a spreadsheet with the efficiency of a command-line tool.
Developers, DevOps engineers, and data analysts who work with streaming or static tabular data in the terminal, such as logs, Kubernetes events, CSV files, and JSON output. It is particularly suited for those who prefer vi-like keybindings and zero-configuration exploration.
Developers choose nless for its zero-configuration approach, automatic format inference, and stream-native design that handles live data updates. Its unique selling point is combining vi-like efficiency with interactive features like pivoting, filtering, and JSON parsing directly in the terminal, without needing to switch tools or write scripts.
