pidcat

During Android application development, we often want to display only the current log information of our own application. Unfortunately, since the process ID changes every time it is deployed to the phone, isn't it trying to find a log filtering tool that can solve this problem.

pidcat is all about filtering the application logs by matching the application packages. Then you can enjoy a more convenient development process.

here is an example.
