Native macOS menu bar control for local development projects.

A Swift menu bar app that shows which local runtimes are listening, diagnoses busy ports, and opens or stops exact localhost processes from one native surface.

MacDev menu bar runtime panel with localhost runtimes, warnings, and diagnostics

Problem

Local development servers keep running, ports collide, and macOS system listeners can look like broken dev processes.

What I built

I built a native Swift menu bar app that scans listening TCP ports, classifies runtimes, explains warnings, and gates process control behind precise actions.

Result

MacDev keeps localhost state visible while staying out of the main workspace.

Audience

For Mac developers who want localhost state, runtime warnings, and safe process control without digging through terminals.
