Is there a convenient Stand-alone client for LogCat so that it is convenient to watch the log from the device via USB on a computer without launching a cumbersome IDE?

Question

Android

In theory, this is not a problem: you can interact with LogCat through adb, and sort of through DDMS (I still don’t know what it is).
But, unfortunately, adb does not differ in convenience, even just creating any client already requires a lot of man-hours. And convenient - and even more so. Therefore, I would not want to write a bicycle.
I am looking for a solution.
Yes, there is a "LogCat" window in Eclipse, probably in Android Studio as well.
But, firstly, these IDEs do not differ in convenience. And, accordingly, the LogCat window - too. It is inconvenient that Scroll Lock turns on inappropriately, that there is simply no Start / Stop button, and the log is also cleared when communication with the device is lost (maybe this is correct - but it is inconvenient for me), etc.
Secondly, and most importantly, both IDEs, and especially the second one, are rather cumbersome, they start up slowly on my computer, the system is heavily loaded. For the "just look at LogCat" task, it's like shooting sparrows with a cannon.
I'm looking for a compromise. Has no one ever written it?

Requires Java 7 and Android SDK.
There are quite advanced filters (by tag, by application, by PID). You can load logs/bugreports from files.
Runs quickly, does not lose logs when disconnected.
