Hey PH! 👋
I built Port Monitor because I was tired of typing lsof -i :3000 every single time a port was busy.
v2 just shipped with Docker + Homebrew integration, git project detection, and activity logging.
The only alternative is PortKiller — free but written in Rust, requires xattr commands after install, and the UI looks like 2010. Port Monitor is native SwiftUI, installs like any Mac app, and costs less than a coffee at €2.99.
Happy to answer any questions!
