- For
- Mac developers running local servers and coding agents
- Worth noticing
- The sample flags a Docker-held MySQL port, a stopped Claude Code session, and an Ollama listener reachable on the network.
Field notes
The page says lohost reads project branches from .git/HEAD without running git and derives uptime from each process's start time. Its example menu separates ordinary running services from items needing a look, including a port conflict, an ended Claude Code session, and a network-bound Ollama process. These are presented as example servers; the app itself is marked not released yet.
