Portlivo
Mac menu bar app for viewing and managing local dev servers and ports
Overview
Portlivo is a Mac menu bar application designed for developers managing local development servers. It scans your Mac every two seconds to display all listening ports and processes as named, grouped servers with their associated projects, commands, health status, and resource usage. The app lets you open, kill, restart, tail, watch, or share any server directly from the menu bar with a single click. It recognizes major development tools including Node.js frameworks (Vite, Next.js, Nuxt, Astro, Express), PHP with Laravel/Herd/Valet, Rails, Django, Go, Elixir, Java, Docker containers, and Homebrew or launchd services like PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Redis. Features include live health checks with HTTP status indicators, live previews of each server's homepage, live log streaming, QR code sharing for local network access, public sharing via cloudflared or ngrok, and integration with AI coding agents like Claude Code and Codex. The app includes a devports CLI for Terminal and Raycast, Shortcuts actions, keyboard-first navigation, and runs entirely locally with no account or analytics required.

Frequently looked up
- Q1What does Portlivo do?
- Portlivo watches which processes are listening on TCP ports on your Mac every two seconds and shows them as named servers with their project, command, health and resource use. From there you can open, copy, restart, kill, tail, watch or share any of them.
- Q2Is it safe to kill processes from Portlivo?
- Yes. Portlivo re-checks the PID right before stopping anything, so a recycled PID can't take down the wrong app. It sends a polite SIGTERM first, and the command palette asks for Enter twice. Root-owned processes are left alone.
- Q3Does anything leave my Mac?
- No. Scanning, health checks and previews run locally against localhost. The only outbound connections are update checks, the licence check with Dodo Payments, and optional cloudflared or ngrok tunnels when you choose to share a server.
- Q4Which macOS versions are supported?
- macOS 14 Sonoma or later on both Apple silicon and Intel Macs. It's a native SwiftUI app, signed and notarized by Apple.
- Q5How does pricing work?
- Try everything free for 7 days. After that it's a one-time licence with free updates: $8.99 for one Mac right now, rising to $19.99 as early-bird spots sell out, or $39.99 for 3 Macs and $59.99 for 5 Macs. No subscription.
