DevPort lives in your menu bar and shows what's running on every localhost port: which project started it, what framework it is, and whether it's safe to stop.
Free download, 1.7 MB. DevPort needs a licence key to run: buy one for $3.50 and paste it in.
~/launchbuddy $ npm run dev Error: listen EADDRINUSE: address already in use :::3000 ~/launchbuddy $ lsof -i :3000 COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE NODE NAME node 48213 you 23u IPv6 TCP *:hbci (LISTEN) ~/launchbuddy $ kill 48213 # …which project was that?
lsof to find out what's on port 3000.A dev server you forgot about, a closed terminal that left Node running, a Docker container from last week. DevPort shows you all of it, names the project, and lets you stop it without guessing at a PID.
Click the plug in your menu bar, or press ⌥⌘P from anywhere.
DevPort reads open ports straight from macOS and matches each one to its process, folder and framework. You see 3000 · Next.js · launchbuddy, not node 48213.
Open any port to see exactly why DevPort thinks it belongs to that project, whether it's reachable from your network or the internet, and whether it's safe to stop.
Stop sends a polite signal first and offers Force Quit only if the process ignores it. Restart runs your original command again, like npm run dev, in the right folder.
Stacks remember the services each project needs: frontend, API, database, cache. Start everything in the right order, or shut it all down when you switch projects.
Docker Desktop, OrbStack, Colima and Podman containers show up with their mapped ports. So do ngrok and Cloudflare tunnels, SSH and kubectl port-forwards, and .test domains.
Written in Swift. Reads ports directly from macOS, with no lsof calls, so refreshing every 2 seconds costs nothing.
No account, no analytics. Your process list is never sent anywhere. The only network request is the licence check.
Open it from anywhere, move with the arrow keys, press Return to open a port and Esc to go back.
