Is there something like this that's lightweight and works well on (non-WSL) Windows?

I have Windows Servers with tools that create text-based logs and it would be nice to have something that could tail them.

Baretail is what I have used allot. Really old but works good. Like the simple config to color lines. https://www.baremetalsoft.com/baretail/

LogViewPlus (https://www.logviewplus.com) is very similar to lnav and built for Windows.

notepad++ is great for log files. it handles massive files with ease. I wish it ran on non win systems…

If you just want old-school `tail` and `less` you can get them with Cygwin.

These don't support multi-file or highlighting like `lnav` does, but even on top of Cygwin they're very lightweight.
