SyslogWatch
Real-time UDP and TCP syslog monitoring for macOS
SyslogWatch is a focused macOS app for receiving RFC 3164 and RFC 5424 syslog messages over UDP or TCP. Filter by severity, search live events, create keyword alerts, and keep logs locally on your Mac. The free version includes real-time monitoring and up to three alert rules. Optional Pro adds archived search, unlimited rules, and SMTP alerts.
I built SyslogWatch because testing and monitoring syslog traffic on a Mac often means using terminal commands or heavyweight cross-platform tools. I wanted a native, focused dashboard that makes incoming UDP and TCP events immediately visible while keeping log data local by default. The product evolved through real App Store testing with RFC 3164 and RFC 5424 messages, severity filtering, live search, alert rules, window recovery, and privacy-focused local storage.
