Editorial interest 77/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A macOS utility that gives USB serial devices stable alias paths for use in terminals, scripts, IDEs, and firmware tools.

Landing page captured for the 2026-11-10 issue.

For: macOS users working with USB serial boards and test benches
Worth noticing: The page lists macOS 26.5 or later and shows aliases used with esptool.py, arduino-cli, screen, and picocom.

Field notes

The app identifies devices using product, manufacturer, and serial-number information; rules can be exact to one serial number or broader across a product/manufacturer combination. It presents the current Mac port in its menu-bar popup and device list, while command examples point tools such as esptool.py, arduino-cli, screen, and picocom at aliases under ~/Aliases. The page says link maintenance happens while the app runs, with no daemon configuration.
