PortTraceX
Reveal why a port is in use
What it does
“Does PortTraceX work with remote servers?” - Today, the answer is finally YES. PortTraceX started as a simple, beautiful macOS tool to help developers instantly identify and kill local processes blocking their ports. But the real pain wasn’t just local ports. It was remote infrastructure, servers you SSH into daily, staging machines, side-projects running on VPSs, production services you need to check quickly, or random processes blocking ports somewhere out there in the cloud.
