About purr
purr provides a terminal interface for viewing and searching Android logcat output. It uses fzf for fuzzy finding, helping developers filter large logs without relying on repeated grep commands.
It can also search results from adb shell commands, such as dumpsys output. The README describes it as useful for app debugging and for diagnosing Android systems from a terminal.
