Changelog

Your download link always serves the newest version. Download it again and replace the app to update.

  1. 0.3.5

    • Favicon lookups never leave your Mac: a local server that redirects its icon to another host is no longer followed.

  2. 0.3.4

    • The disk image opens to a proper install window: drag DevPorts onto the Applications folder, with the steps right below.

  3. 0.3.3

    • Launch agents written as bash -o pipefail -c, polling loops like while true; do …; done, and commands wrapped in sudo, time, nice, or caffeinate are recognized, so their programs aren't reported as orphaned.
    • Only the programs a launch agent runs count as its own. A folder it changes into or a log file it writes to no longer hides unrelated processes.
    • An error message on a row no longer carries over to a different process that reuses the same pid.

  4. 0.3.2

    • Coding agents started as a Python module, such as python -m hermes.cli or python -m aider, are recognized: never listed or stopped, and the commands they run are tagged with the agent's name.
    • Jupyter servers are labeled Jupyter. Notebook kernels are no longer listed, so a stray click can't lose a notebook's state.
    • Launch agents that run a shell command line are recognized, so their programs aren't reported as orphaned.
    • Switching to another app with Cmd-Tab closes the dropdown.
    • A pending Stop? confirmation no longer carries over to a different process that reuses the same pid.

  5. 0.3.1

    • A process orphaned inside a project is marked orphaned right away, with its warning icon, the orphan count in the Background header, and the menu bar dot.

  6. 0.3.0

    • New Background section for dev processes that don't listen on a port: watchers like tsc --watch and nodemon, queue workers, and processes orphaned when an agent or terminal session ended.
    • Each background row shows the command, project, uptime, memory, and CPU, tagged with what started it: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor agent, Grok, Hermes, Gemini, Aider, OpenCode, or Terminal.
    • Orphaned processes are marked in orange, and the menu bar count gets a small dot while any exist.
    • Stopping a background process takes a second click to confirm.
    • Coding agents, editors, terminals, and their own MCP and language servers are never listed, and every stop refuses if one of them is in the process tree.
    • Show all listeners also lists processes listening outside a project folder, such as npx serve in /tmp.

  7. 0.2.0

    • Memory and CPU for each server, summed over the same process tree that Stop stops. Memory above 2 GB is highlighted.
    • Restart a server: DevPorts shows the exact command, stops the server, and runs the command again in a new Terminal window.
    • Open a project in Cursor, VS Code, Zed, or Xcode, or in Ghostty, iTerm, Warp, or Terminal, from the row's menu.
    • The dropdown hangs directly under the menu bar icon and always fits its content.
    • Stop all and Restart confirm inside the dropdown.

  8. 0.1.0

    • First release: a menu bar list of running dev servers with favicon, project, framework, ports, and uptime.
    • Stop a server and the process tree that exists only to run it, leaving sibling servers and your shell alone.
    • Launch at login, and --list and --stop on the command line.
    • Universal build for Apple silicon and Intel, macOS 14 or later.
