Community Voice & Feedback
the "never leaves your machine" part is what would sell me over just running lsof myself. one question on that - Apple Intelligence needs an M-series chip and a fairly recent macOS version to actually run on-device, so what happens on an older Intel Mac or a machine that isn't Apple Intelligence eligible? does it fall back to some simpler heuristic/lookup for the "what is this" explanation, or is that whole feature gated off entirely on unsupported hardware
Hey Product Hunt,
You start a project. Something's already using port 3000. You have no idea what, or whether it's safe to shut down.
That was my entire week, every week. So I built Port Radar.
It sits in your Mac menu bar and:
• Shows every port your Mac is currently running
• Answers "what is this, and is it safe to stop?" using Apple Intelligence, on your device nothing gets uploaded anywhere
• Stops anything in one click
• Turns a local site into a live shareable link with a one click Cloudflare tunnel
No Terminal. No commands to memorize. No cloud.
The AI part is the piece I'm proudest of, instead of a list of numbers, you get an actual answer, and it never leaves your machine.
