What it does
Free, open-source macOS menu bar app that shows every localhost port — scan, kill, and tunnel in one click. No accounts, no telemetry.
A free, open-source menu bar app for macOS that shows every localhost port on your machine — with one-click kill and public tunnels built in. One keyboard shortcut opens the scanner. Sorted by activity, filterable by name, and always current — Manfath re-scans every three seconds. Every listening port, every 3 seconds, zero config. TCP, UDP, IPv4, IPv6 — with the process name and PID behind each one. Stuck process on :3000? One click, it's gone. SIGTERM first, SIGKILL if it misbehaves — with zero terminal yoga. Share localhost with a public URL in one line. Cloudflare, ngrok, or your own — Manfath wires it up and copies the link. Manfath sees processes, not frameworks — which means it sees…from manfath.dev

Talanoa▲345Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
