DevPorts gives runaway Mac dev servers a stop button

devports.xyz Observed source
Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A $9 macOS menu bar app that finds local development servers and background processes, then lets you stop, restart, or open the right project without disturbing unrelated work.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-17 issue.

Field notes

The app groups local processes by project rather than presenting a raw list of PIDs. Its examples distinguish listening servers from background workers and show a process tree in which a Next.js server, pnpm wrapper, and build worker can be stopped together while a sibling API remains running. The page also describes a command-line mode, with --list for server details and --stop <pid> using the same stop path as the menu-bar interface.
