Open Ports
Manage open ports from your macOS menu bar. Never google "How to kill a process by port?" again.
About Open Ports
Open Ports is a macOS menu bar application for listing, browsing, copying, terminating, and force-killing processes that have open network ports. It functions as a graphical front end for the `lsof` and `kill` commands, showing the process name, process ID, and port number for each listening connection.
The application also supports Docker for Mac, allowing management of containers with published ports. It includes a customization option to ignore specific ports the user does not want to monitor.
This tool is aimed at macOS users, including developers, who want a visual way to inspect and manage open ports and terminate processes without using the terminal directly.
