I got tired of never knowing what ports are running, so I built WhatThePort
whattheport.dev
whattheport.dev
I've got a design background, started building a lot more lately, couldn't stand how opaque the process is to see what ports are occupied and what local servers are running. So I built WhatThePort.
It shows you:
- what local servers are running - how long they've been running - their resource use - notifies you if one spikes - auto-kill old servers (opt-in) - give easy ways to launch the local urls - add shortcuts to my Vercel preview url, or Codex/CCode sessions that created it, and shortcuts to resume in my terminal of choice - has charts to see spikes - allows you to resume sessions in the terminal - auto-tags stale servers if your workspace is cold - and more.
Also added a TUI for it today since I know many devs will prefer having access to it.
Enjoy, share feedback.
Discover shell aliases... You only need to remember "port"...
This is for Linux
alias port="sudo ss -tulnp"
This is for macOS alias port="sudo lsof -nP -i -sTCP:LISTEN"Anyway, I do really like the minimalistic design though.
Everyone ^H^H^H^H everyone's clanker is building the same things.
