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
