LocalhostBoard Local Port Menu Bar App
See all local dev server ports and statuses in real time from the Mac menu bar
- Problem
- Developers running multiple local services often forget which port maps to which project and need to manually run commands to check. Existing tools lack an always-visible menu bar display.
- Solution
- A Mac menu bar app that automatically scans and lists all listening local ports, showing process names and project paths, with one-click open in browser, copy port, and kill process.
- Users
- Full-stack developers on Mac, engineers who frequently run multiple services
- MVP
- Scan listening local ports; show process info and project paths; one-click open/copy/kill; menu bar resident with low resource usage
- Revenue
- One-time purchase (e.g., $5-10), or free basic version with paid advanced features (custom groups, remote sync)
- Why now
- Local dev services are increasing, and menu bar tool demand is clear; indie developers can quickly implement with Swift
