Why can apps take many seconds or even minutes to launch on some Macs? More results to puzzle and perplex, and a strategy to address the problem.

How to construct and use filter predicates to refine the log entries shown in LogUI or most other log browsers, and in the log command tool.
Adds support for using your own filter predicates so you only see the log entries you want. Either in a one-off editor, or to its popup menu.

Get started browsing your Mac’s log using this lightweight and friendly utility. A walkthrough looking at what happened when I launched an app.
Improves Signposts feature and makes a couple of minor corrections.
Supports both continuous and discontinuous selection of log entries, copy their text contents, Signposts, and smart window and file naming.
