LoginLog: Show Log over LoginWindow (or other places)
One of the tools we use in MDS is LoginLog, a macOS app that shows progress over the login window. Originally written by the awesome Per Olofsson, it shows /var/log/install.log (but you can specify any log you like).
With the recent changes in macOS, Python has been removed as a default install. In order to keep using this tool, we ported it to a compiled macOS binary (written in Swift). It is still open source (Apache License) and the configuration file should be the same: it’s an easy, drop-in replacement if you are already using LoginLog. It should work on macOS 10.10 or later, is Intel and Apple Silicon native, and is signed and notarized.
