A clearer local picture

See what is happening on your Mac. Without guessing.

Port Manager shows what is running in the background, what may be slowing you down, and what you can do safely — even if you do not use the Terminal.

When your Mac stops making sense.

An app will not start

See what is already using the space it needs.

Your Mac feels slow

Understand what is asking for attention.

An AI suggests a command

See the context before you approve an action.

Projects, apps, and background activity are shown together so you can understand the situation before you act.

CPU, memory, energy, and storage become a clear picture instead of a collection of numbers.

Review developer clutter and move selected safe items to the Mac Trash after confirmation.

Safety by design

MCP

Port Manager also includes an MCP server for agent workflows. It remains optional, and the same safety layer applies.

  "mcp_servers": {
    "ports-mcp": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/ports/src/mcp-server.js"]
    }
  }
}

Port Manager

Port Manager helps you understand your Mac before you start trying commands at random.

The desktop app serves its interface only on a private loopback address. Your process information does not go to this website.

macOS · v1.2.0

Choose the build for your Mac. On first launch, macOS may ask you to right-click and choose Open because releases are not yet notarized.

Does this work only on macOS?

Yes. Port Manager uses macOS system tools and ships as a Mac desktop app.

Does it expose my computer to the network?

No. The local interface binds to 127.0.0.1 by default.

Can it restart a process?

No. Restart-by-command remains intentionally disabled until a safe allowlist exists.
