Porrter — local servers grouped by application, with ports, memory and live status

Vitals, not guesswork

Expand a server for uptime, CPU, memory and energy — plus a live HTTP check that proves it's actually responding.

Reclaim your RAM

Clean Up finds listeners that stayed idle across repeated scans and frees them in one click. Databases and system daemons are never touched.

Ports know their owner

Every server sits under the app it belongs to — git repo, branch, and Docker Compose projects resolved automatically.

Nothing leaks quietly

The moment a port binds to 0.0.0.0 instead of localhost, the row and your menu bar say so — before someone else on the café Wi-Fi finds it.
