Features
Multi-Service Multiplexing
When streaming from multiple services, each service gets a unique color prefix:
[web] Listening on port 3000
[api] Connected to database
[worker] Processing job #1234Remote Streaming
For remote environments, logs are streamed through the active provider’s SSH tunnel — no need to manually SSH into the server.
