Vaste

Vaste is a read-only viewer for large files. It opens plain text and log files, CSV and TSV tables, NDJSON records, and binary data without loading the whole file into memory, so you can open, scroll, and search files that are many gigabytes in size.

Vaste runs as a desktop app on Windows, macOS, and Linux. The terminal app, vaste-tui, has the same four views: Text, Hex, Table, and NDJSON.
