Nisshi in Night on All Messages: a timeline of the boot, a wpa_supplicant disconnect selected with every journal field below it, and suggestion chips for its problems, connections and roaming.
Nisshi's release build of 29 October 2026, alone under a private headless sway at 1440 × 900, scale 1, drawing its own menu bar. It read a made-up boot through a stand-in journalctl, so no message of a real computer is shown. 1440 × 900, not upscaled

Places and search

All Messages, Errors & Warnings, My Session, Kernel, Crashes and Logins & Security, each counted; then the sources that wrote the most, and the log files under /var/log. Search as you type with tokens: app:, unit:, pid:, level:, since: and until: (10m, yesterday), /regex/, -word and "a phrase". While a key's value is being typed, the strip offers the values there are.

Suggestions

With nothing selected, the strip says what stands out: errors and who wrote them, failed units, crashes, out-of-memory kills. With a message selected, it offers its source, its problems, the topics Nisshi knows that program writes about (21 kinds of program, from NetworkManager to sshd) and messages like it, to show or hide.

The timeline

Messages over the boot, errors and warnings at the foot of each bar, on a square-root scale so a few errors show beside thousands of messages. Drag across it to see that stretch. Around This Time shows a minute either side of any message.

Live, and yours

New messages arrive as they're written. Programs' colours show in the theme's; launched apps are named after the app, each launch on its own. Your own session's journal is open to you, and Unlock… asks once for an administrator's password to read the system's, until Lock or the window closes.
