You’ve likely heard of and experimented with various AI art generators, such as Midjourney, DALL-E, and Runway, to name a few. While these tools are fantastic, many are browser-based.

In this post, we’ll introduce you to some of the best AI art generator apps that you can download and use on your iPad, allowing you to create art anytime, anywhere, on the move.

Imagine

Imagine iPad app

The Imagine app, similar to many AI art generators available, facilitates the creation of AI-driven art through user-provided descriptions or prompts. Users have the option to choose from a range of models and styles, including ‘Dream Shaper’, ‘Realistic’, ‘Cosmic’, ‘Marble’, among others. After selecting the preferred settings, the app produces the artwork, which can then be downloaded or further modified.

Additionally, the app presents advanced customization options, such as merging with another image, omitting certain elements, modifying aspect ratios, and refining image quality. While there is a complimentary version of Imagine available, the app also introduces subscription plans for users desiring enhanced features.

The Imagine AI Generator can be accessed through its free version or through its subscription-based offerings. The free variant provides users with a glimpse of the app’s foundational features, though it includes ads and watermarks on the artworks. Conversely, the subscription packages, available in weekly, annual, or lifetime durations, extend perks like the elimination of ads, removal of watermarks, faster image processing, and greater adaptability in aspect ratio selection.

Imagine is also available for iPhone and Android users.

Airt

Airt iPad app

The Airt AI Generator app boasts a user-friendly interface, enabling users to either input a custom prompt or choose from a list of sample prompts. Once the desired prompt is entered, users can select an art style, which varies from realistic to digital art, and includes specialized styles such as anime and watercolor. For those looking to explore further, an ‘Advanced Option’ is available, allowing users to pick a model for their artwork from options like ‘DALL-E’, ‘Stable Diffusion’, and the default ‘Midjourney’. Additionally, the app features an avatar creation tool that can convert photos into over 100 distinctive avatars, albeit at an extra charge.

Regarding pricing, Airt provides a free 3-day trial. Following this, users have the choice of a weekly subscription priced at $9.98 or an annual subscription for $49.98. Those who subscribe gets perks like unlimited artwork generation and the absence of watermarks on their creations.

WOMBO Dream

WOMBO Dream iPad app

To start using WOMBO Dream, tap the ‘+’ icon on the main screen. Then, pick the size you want for your artwork, type in a description or choose from the given options, and select an art style like Dreamland, Warped, or Realistic. However, some styles are only available with a paid subscription. Once you’ve made your choices, hit ‘Create’ to get your AI-designed art.

After your art is made, you can download it, make changes, add text, or create different versions. There’s also a ‘Community Feed’ in the app where you can see art made by others, which can give you some ideas. You can even download or change these artworks. But remember, anything you create will show up in this feed unless you change this in the settings. If you’re using the free version, you can only make one piece of art at a time and there’s a limit on how long your description can be. If you want more features, you can subscribe for $14.98 a month or $134.98 a year. This gives you faster results, no ads, and no watermarks on your art.

WOMBO Dream is also available for iPhone and Android users.

UniDream

UniDream iPad app

UniDream comes with several features, not just turning text into art. It can change existing pictures, fill in missing parts of photos with AI help, and turn simple drawings into colorful artworks. To use it, users click the ‘+’ sign, pick ‘Text to Art’, write a description, select a style like Anime or 3D, and set the picture size. Then, by pressing ‘Start Drawing’, the art is made.

A special feature in UniDream is the ‘Reference Image’ option. This lets users use another picture to help improve their artwork, which is great for getting certain poses or designs right. The app also has tools to make faces and details like hair look better. After making art, users can save, fix, change, or make different versions of it. UniDream is free, but paying for it gives more features like more art styles, endless picture making, and better editing tools.

UniDream is available for iPhone, Android, and Mac.

Leonardo.ai

Leonardo.ai iPad app

Last but not least, we have Leonardo.ai. This AI art generator is designed primarily for tablet devices. The app is free to an extent, granting users 150 daily tokens to kickstart their artistic endeavors. Whether you’re a novice in the realm of AI art or a casual creator, Leonardo.ai offers a cost-effective way to bring your artistic visions to life. After downloading the app, users are required to sign up. Upon successful registration, they receive 150 tokens. The home screen showcases a variety of image-generating models and a gallery of artworks created by the community. To produce art, users input a prompt, choose a model, and then customize their piece using numerous options, from the model type (like PhotoReal or DreamShaper) to advanced settings such as ‘Seed’ and ‘Scheduler’.

Leonardo.ai also introduces an ‘Image to Image’ feature, which allows users to upload a pre-existing photo and direct the AI to create a new artwork inspired by the original. In terms of pricing, Leonardo.ai offers four distinct plans: Free, Apprentice, Artisan, and Maestro. Each plan provides different amounts of tokens, image generation capabilities, and additional features.

The post 7 Best Private Instagram Viewer Apps in 2023 (Free and Paid) appeared first on Hongkiat.

On Instagram, or most of the social media platforms out there, your activities are tracked. This includes viewing someone’s photos and videos. In Instagram’s case, if you view someone’s stories, your name/username will appear under the story’s Viewer list, letting the person who posted it know. But have you ever wanted, and wondered, if you can view stories quietly and anonymously? Well, it turns out you can. And this is exactly what I’m going to show you in this post.

In this article, I’m going to share with you some of the Instagram viewer apps that allow you to view Instagram stories anonymously, without leaving any traces, like your Instagram username.

Overview:
Tool Name Feature Price
Glassagram View stories without following $49.99/mo
uMobix Full control over Instagram content $12.49/mo (yearly)
xMobi No account linkage required $49.99/mo
Inflact Free public stories viewer Free
XNSPY Offline access to private photos $4.99/mo (yearly)
Cocospy No-root Android Instagram viewer $12.49/mo (yearly)
Spyic Stealthy web-based Instagram viewer $12.49/mo (yearly)

Glassagram

The Top-Notch App for Viewing Instagram Stories.

Glassagram App Interface
Pros
  • Great compatibility to online functionality.
  • Views both private and public account content.
  • Monitors ‘hot likes’ on older photos.
  • Notifies of tags, new posts, followers, and more.
  • Stores stories indefinitely; recovers deleted ones.
  • Offers 24/7 live chat for subscribers.
Cons
  • Slow synchronization with private accounts.
  • Lacks a free demo.
  • Doesn’t monitor DMs.

Glassagram is your go-to solution if you want to view someone’s Instagram stories without the necessity of following a private account. What’s more, there’s no need for installation, which is a significant advantage, freeing you from unnecessary complications. It also ensures oversight of your spouse’s or children’s Instagram accounts, letting you stay updated discreetly.

The Glassagram private viewer is priced at $49.99 per month. Admittedly, it’s not the most affordable option among viewer apps. However, given its numerous benefits and the ability to reveal stories and posts from private Instagram accounts without following them, the price seems fairly justified.

uMobix

One of 2023’s Best Private Instagram Viewer Apps.

uMobix App
Pros
  • Monitors DMs.
  • Grants complete access to IG and FB on iPhone.
  • Keylogging, activity tracking, and screenshots.
  • Able to access other messengers and social platforms.
  • Regularly updated.
  • Offers a free trial (when requested).
Cons
  • Requires installation on the target device.
  • Lacks desktop app.

I stumbled upon uMobix and were genuinely surprised. It’s a significant tool for viewing photos and videos on Instagram, arguably one of the most sought-after account viewers in the market. The tool lets you view and manage all Instagram content on iOS as though you were the account owner. This includes blocking users, sending DMs, following profiles, and more. However, its focus is solely on mobile platforms. If you’re in need of a desktop viewer, you might want to explore other options.

To use this private Instagram viewer, you’ll need to download and install it on the target device. For iOS devices, installation can be done remotely via iCloud. For Android devices, direct installation on the device is necessary. I recognize that this could be a concern for many users, especially those aiming for discreet access to Instagram accounts.

Nevertheless, only one-time access is needed. When a new feature is introduced, the app updates automatically on the target device. Despite its vast array of features, its cost remains low at just $12.49 per month when you opt for the yearly package.

xMobi

The Best Instagram Viewer Without Human Verification.

xMobi App
Pros
  • Uses modern SSL protocol for secure connections.
  • No need to log into your account or follow the private profile.
  • Reliable Instagram story downloader.
Cons
  • Requires knowing the Instagram username of the target profile.
  • Most features limited to the premium plan.

xMobi distinguishes itself as a premier private Instagram viewer app, allowing users to access another’s Instagram profile without needing to link it to their own IG account. While this tool prioritizes your data’s privacy, it simultaneously infringes on someone else’s – highlighting the paradoxical nature of our world.

The app is priced at $49.99 per month, aligning with the industry standard. It requires only a one-time physical access for installation on Android devices or synchronization via iCloud, which we find exceptionally convenient. When an app delivers its services promptly after registration and payment, eliminating any additional hassles, it’s a significant advantage for those in search of an Instagram content viewer.

Visit xMobi

Inflact

A Free Viewer App for Instagram Stories.

Inflact App
Pros
  • Completely free with no hidden fees or subscriptions.
  • User-friendly interface.
Cons
  • Registration required to view Instagram videos and stories.
  • Limited to public accounts only.

The word “free” has a magical allure for many; they’re often drawn to anything that doesn’t require money, regardless of its quality. However, with the Inflact account viewer, this isn’t entirely the case. It’s free, effective, and transparent! Inflact lets you view Instagram stories from public profiles, thereby maintaining respect for people’s privacy. To see photos and videos from a private account, you’ll need to follow it.

However, if you aim to monitor the online activities of someone you’re interested in, or perhaps keep tabs on your children while remaining completely anonymous, this story viewer is an ideal choice.

Visit Inflact

XNSPY

A Reliable Choice for Viewing Instagram Stories.

XNSPY App
Pros
  • Competitive pricing.
  • Provides offline access to private profile photos.
  • No personal Instagram account needed.
Cons
  • Requires installation.
  • Possesses a synchronization gap; may miss rapidly deleted posts.

XNSPY is a great choice for both Android and iOS users aiming to view Instagram stories without undergoing verification. With a modest fee of $4.99 per month (when opting for the basic version in a yearly package), it boasts an impressive functionality. This competitive price point is likely to appeal to a vast number of potential customers. Let’s delve a bit deeper into what this app has in store.

XNSPY is a fully discreet Instagram account viewer, boasting the unique ability to access Instagram photos even in the absence of an internet connection. However, to view Instagram stories or videos, you’ll need to be connected to the network. The app syncs with the private profile frequently, but any content posted during a synchronization lapse and subsequently deleted will be inaccessible. It’s worth noting that the app requires installation, which some might see as a downside.

Visit XNSPY

Cocospy

Best Instagram Profile Viewer for Android.

Cocospy App
Pros
  • No need for rooting or jailbreaking.
  • Compatible with both public and private Instagram accounts.
  • Features a user-friendly dashboard for content monitoring.
Cons
  • Requires one-time access to the target device.
  • Each subscription is limited to tracking one device/account.

Cocospy is a full-scale tracking tool compatible with both Android and iOS devices. Its Instagram account viewer is particularly user-friendly, ideal for those looking to monitor Instagram users without maintaining an account on the platform.

For the Cocospy Android viewer app, you’ll need to first install it on the target device. Thankfully, there’s no need for rooting. Once installed and after registering your account (priced at $12.49/mo when opting for a yearly plan), you can access an online dashboard. This will display Instagram stories, posts, chat logs, and videos from the target device, regardless of whether the account is private or public.

However, it’s important to note that to monitor other users’ Instagram profiles, the app needs to be installed on their respective devices, necessitating an additional subscription.

Visit Cocospy

Spyic

An Alternative to Cocospy.

Spyic App
Pros
  • Stealthy app for viewing Instagram content.
  • Offers a web-based viewer for both iOS and Android.
  • Provides live chat for subscribers.
Cons
  • No-jailbreak installation available, but required for private profiles.
  • Inconsistent site information may lead to user confusion.

Spyic bears a resemblance to its counterpart we previously mentioned, offering an online dashboard and coming in at the same price point ($12.49 per month with a yearly subscription). While it has addressed some prior issues, new ones have emerged.

Like Cocospy, it can be installed on Android devices without the need for rooting, and its feature to view private Instagram accounts becomes functional only post-installation. Additionally, Spyic caters to iOS users in search of Instagram viewing software.

FAQ

What distinguishes Instagram story viewers that require installation from those that don’t?

With an Instagram viewer that doesn’t necessitate installation, you can browse Instagram anonymously. Simply input the link of the account you wish to view. However, it’s crucial to note that these platforms typically don’t allow you to monitor DMs, and many are designed solely for tracking public accounts. In contrast, apps that require pre-installation depend on the device and can only monitor Instagram accounts active on those specific devices. They do, however, tend to offer enhanced functionality.

How much does an average Instagram story viewer cost?

Based on our research, the typical cost of an Instagram viewer app is approximately $15 per month when opting for an annual plan. Opting for a one-month subscription generally costs around $50.

Is it legal to utilize Instagram profile viewers?

Using them to oversee Instagram content on devices you own, or on your children’s private accounts, or with the explicit consent of the account holder is entirely legal. However, the waters get murkier beyond these scenarios. While there isn’t a direct prohibition on private profile viewers, accessing a private account without authorization raises ethical concerns.

The cat command, short for “concatenate,” is a commonly-used tool in Linux, enabling users to view, create, and concentrate files, or redirect their output. In this post, we’ll explore how both new and experienced Linux users can leverage the cat command for various tasks.

The general syntax of the cat command is as follow:

$ cat [OPTION] [FILE]...
1. Use cat to create a new file and add content
cat > filename

Example:

The command cat > vegetables.txt takes the standard input and redirects it to a file named “vegetables.txt”. When you execute this command, your terminal doesn’t display any output, but instead waits for you to enter text from the keyboard.

Whatever you type will be written to “vegetables.txt”. To finish and save the file, you’ll need to press CTRL-D (or CTRL-Z on Windows systems using some terminal applications).

Here’s an example of how you might use it:

$ cat > vegetables.txt
Carrot
Broccoli
Spinach
^D

At this point, a file named “vegetables.txt” would be created with the following content:

Carrot
Broccoli
Spinach
2. Display file’s content with cat
cat filename

Example:

Assume the file contains a list of common vegetables; executing the command cat vegetables.txt would display the contents of the file in the terminal.

Carrots
Broccoli
Spinach
Tomatoes
Cucumbers
Peppers
Onions
Potatoes
Kale
Lettuce
3. Display content of multiple files with cat
cat filename_1 filename_2

Example:

Assuming the contents of the files fruits.txt and vegetables.txt are respectively as follows:

Apple
Banana
Cherry
Carrot
Lettuce
Tomato

The command cat fruits.txt vegetables.txt would produce:

Apple
Banana
Cherry
Carrot
Lettuce
Tomato
4. Display content with line numbering with cat
cat -n filename

Example:

If the contents of fruits.txt are the same as in the previous example:

Apple
Banana
Cherry

Then the command cat -n fruits.txt would produce:

     1	Apple
     2	Banana
     3	Cherry
5. Copy, replace, or replicate a file’s content using cat
cat filename new_filename

Example:

The command cat fruits.txt > new_fruits.txt will take the contents of fruits.txt and write them into a new file named new_fruits.txt. This command won’t display any output to the terminal, assuming it executes successfully.

If fruits.txt has the same content as before:

Apple
Banana
Cherry

After running the command, the content of new_fruits.txt will be:

Apple
Banana
Cherry
6. Merge multiple files’ content into one with cat
cat filename_1 filename_2 > filename_3

Example:

The command cat fruits.txt vegetable.txt > grocery.txt will concatenate the contents of fruits.txt and vegetable.txt, then redirect the output to a file called grocery.txt. If either of the input files doesn’t exist, an error message will be displayed in the terminal, but you won’t see the concatenated contents in the terminal because they are being redirected to grocery.txt.

Suppose fruits.txt contains:

Apple
Banana
Cherry

And vegetable.txt contains:

Carrot
Lettuce
Tomato

After running the command, the terminal won’t show any output (unless there’s an error), but the file grocery.txt will contain:

Apple
Banana
Cherry
Carrot
Lettuce
Tomato

If vegetable.txt was misspelled or doesn’t exist, you would see an error in the terminal similar to:

cat: vegetable.txt: No such file or directory
More Linux commands:
Directory Operations rmdir · cd · pwd · exa · ls
File Operations cat · cp · dd · less · touch · ln · rename · more · head
File System Operations chown · mkfs · locate
Networking ping · curl · wget · iptables · mtr

Navigating the digital landscape can be both enlightening and daunting. For young minds, the potential dangers online can be particularly concerning. As a parent, I understand the urgency to ensure our children’s safety in both the physical and digital realms without being overly intrusive.

Famisafe app

Striking the right balance between protection and privacy requires a trustworthy tool. That’s where the FamiSafe parental control app comes in. This versatile app provides a seamless way to monitor your child’s digital actions, pinpoint their whereabouts, and filter out any unsuitable content.

Join me as I dive deeper into the features of FamiSafe and guide you on leveraging its capabilities for your child’s online well-being.

FamiSafe: In a Nutshell

With the proliferation of mobile devices among kids, parents face the challenge of ensuring safe digital experiences. While it’s essential to trust our children, being proactive about their online safety is equally important. Enter FamiSafe, a solution designed specifically for this purpose.

As previously mentioned, FamiSafe is a parental control application developed by Wondershare. It empowers parents to regulate their child’s screen time, identify and filter inappropriate content, and stay updated on their current whereabouts – all from the convenience of their device.

About Wondershare

Established in 2003, Wondershare is a leading tech company specializing in software solutions for computers and smartphones. With a diverse portfolio, they offer tools for tasks such as video editing, data recovery, PDF management, and more. Among their renowned offerings is “Filmora,” a user-friendly video editing platform. In essence, Wondershare is dedicated to crafting software that aids users in multimedia projects and data retrieval.

Famisafe’s Features:

Let’s delve into some of FamiSafe’s significant features. FamiSafe boasts numerous practical features, providing parents with comprehensive peace of mind.

Below are some of its most compelling features:

  • Receive a daily activity report offering insight into your child’s app timeline, installed, and deleted apps.
  • Easily block unsuitable websites by adding them to a blacklist.
  • Access deleted browser history.
  • Understand the amount of time your child spends on each app.
  • Limit app usage or block certain apps entirely.
  • Receive notifications regarding suspicious texts.
  • Conveniently schedule screen time.
  • Real-time tracking of your child’s location, providing a history of their movements.
  • Establish geofencing by setting safe zones and receiving alerts if your child exits these locations.
  • Gain an insight into your child’s TikTok app usage, including the duration and types of videos they are watching.

In addition, the FamiSafe app can concurrently monitor multiple devices. Presently, FamiSafe supports the following platforms:

App for parents’ device:

Go to this page for more information.

FamiSafe’s New AI-Powered Features

It’s essential to highlight the AI-driven enhancements in the latest Famisafe update. This is a groundbreaking development, marking one of the first times a parental control app has integrated AI capabilities. Let’s explore these novel features in more detail.

1. AI Assistant

AI Assistant feature feature in FamiSafe

One of the prominent introductions in FamiSafe is the AI assistant tailored to support parents. Here’s what it brings to the table:

  1. It promptly answers any questions parents may have in multiple languages. All you need to do is ask.
  2. If your child stumbles upon inappropriate content online, the assistant will notify you without delay.

This innovative feature is akin to having a helpful companion embedded within the app. For instance, if concerns arise regarding your child’s screen time, simply ask the assistant. You might be advised:

“Your child’s phone usage seems average. However, platforms like TikTok are not advisable for children under 13. Consider establishing guidelines around its usage.”

This integration offers a level of expertise and guidance right at your fingertips.

2. Intelligent Alerts

Intelligent Alerts feature in FamiSafe

This feature ensures enhanced online safety for your children. Here’s how it operates:

  1. Weekly, it reviews your child’s search activities on major browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge on Android devices.
  2. Utilizing ChatGPT, the tool evaluates these search queries for any potential risks.
  3. If it identifies harmful content, parents receive an immediate alert, while benign search details are kept confidential to respect the child’s privacy.

For instance, you might receive a notification stating:

“Attention: This week we detected a concerning search by your child: “P**nhub.” This platform primarily hosts adult content and isn’t suitable for children. Prolonged exposure could be detrimental. It’s advised to monitor your child’s online activity and encourage safe browsing habits.”

This feature equips parents with invaluable insights, fostering confidence in their child’s digital safety.

While many digital tools may appear detached, the AI Companion infuses a sense of relatability, enriching digital interactions for children. This feature brilliantly merges safety with an enriched user experience.

Getting Started with FamiSafe

For parents keen on ensuring their child’s digital safety, FamiSafe provides an extensive monitoring solution for any device your child might use. While its myriad features offer robust functionality, it can be daunting for newcomers. Therefore, I’ve compiled a concise guide to help you with the following:

Installing and Registering FamiSafe for Parents

Before diving into monitoring, parents must first set up the FamiSafe app on their devices. Here’s a straightforward guide to get you started:

  1. Download the FamiSafe app suitable for your Android or iOS device.

Monitoring Your Child’s Online Activity

As parents, it’s our responsibility to ensure that our children are safe online. The FamiSafe app offers tools to assist in this endeavor, enabling parents to identify and manage the content their kids come across on various social media platforms. Let’s delve into some of the features FamiSafe offers to make this task easier for us.

Flagging and Detecting Explicit Content

FamiSafe’s Explicit Content Detection feature is a comprehensive tool that allows monitoring across numerous social media apps such as SMS, WhatsApp, Messenger, Messenger Lite, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, Kik, Gmail, and more. If you stumble upon any explicit content on your child’s phone, you have the option to review and act accordingly.

Wondering how to use this feature? Here’s a guide:

  1. Start by tapping on Features and then selecting Explicit Content Detection.
  2. Explicit Content Detection interface on FamiSafe
  3. A list of compatible apps will appear. To start monitoring an app, you’ll need to link your child’s account by selecting ‘Connect Account’.
  4. For further customization, tap the three vertical dots located in the top-right corner. Here, you can introduce a Suspicious Text Base or Add Suspicious Words that you’d like the app to identify.
  5. Suspicious Words customization on FamiSafe

Web Content Filtering

The Web Filter feature empowers you to detect and manage inappropriate online content. This is realized through a list of 10 categories, giving you the flexibility to decide which types of websites your child can access.

Let’s understand how to use the Web Filters:

  1. Begin by tapping on Features and selecting Web Filters.
  2. Web Filter categories interface on FamiSafe
  3. Within the list, you have the liberty to toggle on/off access to any of the categories as per your discretion.

  5. Web Filter exception addition interface on FamiSafe
Monitoring Your Child’s TikTok History

Given TikTok’s growing influence among youngsters, it’s crucial for guardians to monitor their children’s interactions. FamiSafe offers an easy way to oversee their TikTok activity for any inappropriate content.

  1. Select Features and choose TikTok History.
  2. View a timeline of videos your child has watched, including duration, hashtags, thumbnails, and more.
  3. Use “<” or “>” to navigate through the history.
  4. To inspect content from a specific account, click View next to it.

FamiSafe for Schools

Digital media offers a powerful means to educate children. Yet, discovering a platform that enables educators to gather detailed information about their students, monitor their advancement, and impart lessons is challenging.

For educators, FamiSafe for school emerges as an exceptional tool. It boasts a smart dashboard that consolidates data about students and offers a unified platform to manage their devices.

Using the FamiSafe school application, I can regulate screen usage, devise a study timetable, and restrict access to potentially harmful apps or websites on my students’ devices.

What’s more, FamiSafe offers several subscription plans based on the duration and number of devices I wish to oversee. Impressively, I can oversee multiple students and their devices using a single account.

Pricing of FamiSafe

Considering the impressive features of the FamiSafe application, one might assume it comes with a hefty price tag. But, to my delight, this isn’t the case.

There are three pricing tiers available – $9.99 monthly, $19.99 quarterly, or $59.99 annually. The monthly plan lets you oversee up to 5 devices with all functionalities, while the quarterly and yearly plans allow you to monitor up to 10 devices, all features inclusive.

If uncertain about a commitment, I can opt for a three-day free trial to personally experience the application before deciding.

Final Thoughts

While the online sphere is a treasure trove of knowledge and entertainment, it’s not without its dangers, especially for the young and impressionable. Unwitting exposure to unsuitable content or online harassment can happen anytime. Hence, it’s pivotal to invest in a reliable parental control solution.

My endorsement for the Wondershare FamiSafe parental control application stems from its reliability and abundant features. It eliminates the need for manual monitoring of my child’s device. The app meticulously handles all tracking and oversight tasks, even covering areas I might miss.

Beyond its functionalities, FamiSafe is user-friendly with an intuitive design. And should I encounter any issues, this guide is always here to assist.

The post How to Use the Less Command in Linux appeared first on Hongkiat.

At its core, less command provides an interactive environment to view the contents of a file, enabling users to scroll line-by-line or page-by-page. Unlike other tools such as cat, which simply dumps the entire file content to the console, less ensures easy navigation, search functionalities, and even offers features like text highlighting.

Especially useful for peering into large files or logs, its efficiency and straightforwardness have rendered less an indispensable command for both newcomers and seasoned Linux professionals.

General syntax for less command:

$ less [FILE]
1. Display line numbers
less -N [file]

The -N option allows you to see line numbers in the output of the less command.

Example:

When you execute less -N example.txt, the command less -N will open the file example.txt in the less pager with line numbers displayed at the beginning of each line. Here is a sample output for what you might see:

     1 This is line one of the file.
     2 Line two comes after line one.
     3 The third line is this one.
     4 And here's line four.
     5 This example has five lines in total.
2. Search for text in a file
less -p [word] [filename]

This command helps you find a word or phrase in a file.

Example:

The command less -p apple fruit.txt would open the file fruit.txt and display the contents starting from the first occurrence of the word “apple.”

Let’s say the content of fruit.txt is:

orange
banana
apple
grape
apple
cherry

Executing less -p apple fruit.txt would open the file in a pager starting from the line with the first occurrence of “apple,” displaying something like:

apple
grape
apple
cherry
3. Display multiple files
less [file1] [file2] [file3]

Use this command to open multiple files by typing the input file names one by one.

4. Reduce blank lines
less -s [filename]

This option reduces a series of blanks lines and replaces them with a single blank line.

Example:

The output of the less -s file1.txt command will simply be the contents of file1.txt, but displayed one screen at a time in your terminal, and with multiple consecutive blank lines condensed into single blank lines.

Suppose file1.txt contains the following:

This is line 1

This is line 3

This is line 5

This is line 7

If you run less -s file1.txt, you would see:

This is line 1

This is line 3

This is line 5

This is line 7
5. Keep content in terminal after exit
less -X [file]

By default, when you exit less, the contents of the file will be removed from the screen. To keep them on the screen, use the -X option.

More Linux commands:
Directory Operations rmdir · cd · pwd · exa · ls
File Operations cat · cp · dd · less · touch · ln · rename · more · head
File System Operations chown · mkfs · locate
Networking ping · curl · wget · iptables · mtr
Search and Text Processing find · grep · sed · whatis · ripgrep · fd · tldr
System Information and Management env · history · top · who · htop · glances · lsof
User and Session Management screen · su · sudo · open
