PortPal: A desktop dashboard to visualize and manage active ports
tom_doerr · x · 2026-08-28
PortPal is a native desktop dashboard for developers that monitors active ports, tracks connection traffic, and visualizes network topology.
It serves as a graphical alternative to command-line tools like netstat and lsof, helping developers quickly resolve "address already in use" (EADDRINUSE) errors. Version 0.2 introduces traffic sparklines and a full dashboard interface, allowing users to identify and kill processes blocking ports with one click.
