Oracle SSL — 14 Sep
===================

Listener dies ~45s after start, only
in eu-west-1, only since the wallet
rotation on Tuesday.

Ruled out
  - cipher list (unchanged since May)
  - clock skew (ntp reports 0.4ms)

Next  - wallet permissions on db-02
  - retry budget in payload.json
  - is 45s the connect timeout?

JWT · HS256 Inspect Copy LF · UTF-8 Ln 1, Col 220 · 1 line

Seven tabs, seven kinds of file. Pick one — the bar along the bottom changes with it, and the tabs themselves are yours to group, collapse and rename.

The idea

Two promises, and nothing else to learn

Everything in Unfiled follows from these. There is no project to create, no file to name, and no window that asks you to decide something before you can type.

Tabs that never disappear

Type into a tab and it is already saved — to a local recovery database, not a file you have to name. Quit whenever you like. Unfiled never asks you to save on the way out, and everything comes back in the same order with the same tab active and the caret where you left it.

Actions that understand the text

Paste JSON and a Format button appears. Paste a log and you get severity filters. Paste a JWT and you can read its claims. The bar only ever shows what the content in front of you supports, so the app stays small even as it learns more formats.

Local by default

No account, no sync, no telemetry. Your text never leaves the Mac.

Native, not a web app

SwiftUI and AppKit. Real menus, real undo, real keyboard behavior.

Saving is optional

Press ⌘S when a scratch tab earns a real file. Until then, don't bother.

Undo you can trust

Every transformation is exactly one undo step, per tab, never shared.

What it does

The content brings the tools

Unfiled recognizes what you paste and offers only the actions that apply to it. Here is what that looks like in practice.

A workbench for logs Pro

Paste a log file and Unfiled parses timestamps, levels and stack traces. Filter by severity, collapse repeated lines into a count, hide the timestamp column, and highlight anything you care about — ORA-, a request ID, a service name.

Multi-select severity filters, from Trace to Fatal
Repeated lines collapse to one row with a count
Java and Python stack traces stay attached to their entry
Entirely view-only — your log file is never rewritten

Watch a file as it grows Pro

Point Unfiled at a log and it appends new lines as they are written — tail -f with the severity colours, filters and stack-trace grouping still on top. Rotation and truncation are handled explicitly rather than shown to you as a corrupted mixture.

Start at the end, or read the whole file in first
Pause to read back without being dragged to the newest line
A rotated or truncated file is noticed and restarted, and says so
Read-only: never creates, moves, truncates or writes the file

Structured data, read properly

Formatting, minifying, validating and copying are free forever — for JSON, and with the same care for XML, YAML, SQL, Base64 and JWTs. Pro adds the browsable tree, with the path of any node one click away, and CSV as a sortable table.

Validation that tells you the line and column, not just "invalid"
Copy a value or its JSON path from any node
JWT header and payload decoded locally — signatures are never claimed as verified
CSV and TSV open as a sortable table without touching the text

Convert between formats Pro

JSON, YAML, XML, CSV and TSV convert to each other, into a new tab. Formats do not carry the same things, so anything the target cannot hold is reported rather than quietly dropped — and the document you started from is never rewritten.

The result opens in a new tab; the original is only read
Lossy notes say what will not survive a round trip, and where
A conversion that cannot be done refuses, instead of half finishing
Key order is preserved rather than alphabetized behind your back

An editor that keeps up

All of it is free: line numbers, find and replace with regular expressions, syntax highlighting for twenty languages, colour-coded logs, split view, column and multi-cursor selection, and explicit control over encoding and line endings.

Highlighting runs off the main thread and never enters your undo history
Two tabs side by side, scrolling independently
Encoding and line endings are shown, and only ever converted when you ask
Large files stay responsive — expensive work backs off automatically

A regex workbench Pro

Write a pattern and watch what it matches while you type it, with a live count, capture groups and a replacement preview. It reads characters rather than structure, so it works on any tab — including the messy paste Unfiled could not classify as anything.

Case, multiline anchors and dot-matches-newline as separate switches
Lift one capture group into a new tab, one match per line
Replace is withdrawn the moment the text no longer matches the preview
Also on plain text: Extract pulls out URLs, IPs, UUIDs and more

Validation that points at the problem

The active tab is checked as you type. The status bar says pass or fail; when it fails, the panel lists what is wrong, with the line and column, and clicking a line takes you there. JSON validation is free — YAML, XML, JSON Lines and CSV are Pro.

Real YAML parsing, so anchors, aliases and flow collections are understood
Duplicate mapping keys reported, not silently accepted
Every document in a multi-document file is checked, not just the first

Structured & live data

Seven tools for the shape of your data

Once Unfiled knows what a document is, it can do more than colour it. These read the structure — or, in Follow's case, keep reading the file. Every one of them leaves the document it worked from untouched.

Convert between formats Pro

JSON, YAML, XML, CSV and TSV, into a new tab. Anything the target format cannot carry is reported rather than dropped.

Compare structurally Pro

Diff two documents by their data, not their lines. Reindent one and reorder its keys — neither is a difference.

Schema Pro

Validate against a JSON Schema, with each violation at its path. Or infer a schema from a document you already have.

Generate types Pro

Type declarations in TypeScript, Swift, Python, Java, C# or Go, from the shape of the document. Deterministic, so it can be committed.

Extract Pro

Pull URLs, IP addresses, emails, UUIDs, paths, timestamps and embedded JSON out of text with no structure at all.

Regex workbench Pro

A pattern with a live count, capture groups and a replacement preview — on any tab, detected or not.

Follow a file Pro

Watch a log as it is written, with the workbench still applied. Rotation and truncation are handled, and the file is never written to.

Privacy

Your text never leaves the Mac

This is a design constraint, not a policy promise. Unfiled has no networking code for user content at all — the only thing it ever sends is a license key, when you activate Pro.

No account

Nothing to sign up for, nothing to sign in to, nothing to forget.

No telemetry on your content

Diagnostics record operation identifiers and error categories. Never your text, file paths, URLs or tokens.

No cloud

Your tabs live in a local database in Application Support. Back it up like any other file.

Network, once

Only to activate or check a Pro license, carrying your key, an installation identifier and your Mac's model — never your text. Free never needs it.
