What it does

See every local dev server and port on your Mac. Kill, restart or share whatever’s on port 3000 in one click.

Portlivo lives in your menu bar and shows every local port — Vite, Laravel, Next.js, Docker, Postgres — with the project it belongs to. Open, kill, restart, tail or share any of them in one click. No more lsof -i . Free for 7 days · $8.99 once (early-bird, normally $19.99), no subscription · macOS 14 Sonoma or later · Apple silicon & Intel Portlivo scans every two seconds and turns a wall of lsof output into named, grouped, live servers you can act on. Press ⌥⌘P from any app and the panel drops down from the menu bar. Pick your own shortcut in Settings. Every web server is probed and coloured by status: 2xx green, redirects teal, 4xx orange, 5xx red — plus how fast it answered. Thumbnails…from portlivo.com
