Watch and release your dev ports from the macOS menu bar

What it does

Berth is a free, open-source macOS menu bar app for developers: watch the ports your projects use, release them in one click. A one-click alternative to lsof + kill. Notarized, Apache-2.0, signed automatic updates.

Berth watches the ports your projects actually use — and lets you release them in one click. Native, fast, and quietly reliable. Notarized by Apple · Signed updates · No telemetry · Apache-2.0 Everything in one compact panel — no windows, no daemons, no dashboard to keep open. A tool that can stop processes should earn your trust before it does anything clever. Berth keeps the surface small and the receipts public. Every build is signed with a Developer ID certificate and scanned by Apple's notary service. The ticket is stapled to the app. Updates are served over HTTPS and checked with EdDSA signatures by Sparkle before anything touches your Mac — then they install only when you click.…from berth.fyi

  • I made OwnTime to balance between competing priorities in my life. The idea is based on two main influences: the concept of "roles" from "The 5 Choices" (2015), and my repeated failure to effectively implement time blocking due to the necessary flexibility in my role. The app allows you to define time budgets, which are not much more than a few mutually exclusive countdown timers. The UX is essentially that of a chess clock for an arbitrary number of players with configurable time. The whole point of the app is to kick you out of the running role/priority when its time is up.
