Hi there, I've been looking for a replacement to Barrier and have been watching this project for a while now!

I tried using the development build today between a Mac and Ubuntu host and had some issues getting things to work.. I found myself really wishing I could see the logs in order to figure out what might be happening, to help me decide if I configured things poorly, there was an issue with my network, or I'm simply hitting a bug.

In Barrier, there's a menu item to show logs and a window pops up with a live view of the logs which was incredibly useful when I needed to diagnose issues in the configuration or hiccups during runtime. Having something that on the GTK GUI would be amazing!

I suppose I should give the CLI version a try, that might have an easier way to see the logs as it runs?

@feschber commented on GitHub (Oct 31, 2025):

Yeah, this is definitely something that would be nice to have, however I haven't gotten around to doing it yet.
If you want to see the logs, you will have to run the binary from within Lan Mouse.app directly in a terminal for now.
Keep in mind this will require you to grant accessibiliy permissions to the Terminal instead of Lan Mouse.app.

MacOS has unfortunately been somewhat of a second class citizen, since I haven't had a proper way of testing things until very recently.
