Port Tools
Know which project owns every localhost port
Port Tools is a native macOS menu bar app for developers who lose track of localhost services across repos and worktrees. Instead of showing only a port and PID, it maps each listener to its project, branch, app, and service type, and gives web apps stable *.localhost names. Before stopping an eligible service, it rechecks the process identity and refuses when the evidence is weak. It runs locally and is open source.
