This product was not featured by Product Hunt yet. It will not be visible on their landing page and won't be ranked (cannot win product of the day regardless of upvotes).
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.
