About

Macsmith brings command-line developer tools into one native macOS GUI for inspecting and managing a local development environment. Manage Homebrew packages and services, switch runtimes with mise and nvm, run Docker through Colima, inspect Lima virtual machines, and start or stop local PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB services. Find which processes are using network ports, manage SSH keys, edit hosts files and shell aliases, and configure local HTTPS with Caddy and mkcert. The app also includes DNS utilities, ngrok and cloudflared tunnel controls, AWS CLI profile and rclone remote views, and developer cache cleanup. Inspect tool state for free; a one-time Pro license is required to install, update, start, stop, or otherwise change supported tools. Macsmith runs on Intel and Apple silicon Macs with macOS 14 or later.

About

Port Detective is a native Windows application from Automata Labs that helps users identify which process is using a specific port. The software is designed to solve common port conflicts such as EADDRINUSE: address already in use without requiring users to manually parse command-line output from tools like netstat or tasklist. Its free edition provides a live listening-port viewer, instant port lookup, process ownership details, executable paths, and a limited number of safe process kills. Port Detective Pro adds unlimited safe kills, Port Guard monitoring, remote scans, Docker-aware port mapping, deep process inspection, and exportable connection history. The app is built in Rust, uses low memory, runs locally, and does not include telemetry or account requirements. Port Detective helps developers and IT professionals resolve port conflicts faster while keeping critical local ports protected.
