Overview

htop-style TUI to view and manage port usage

πŸ”Œ What's really using your ports? htop-style TUI, one keypress to kill it.

From the maintainer

Origin story

I wanted a faster way to understand what is really using a port without chaining ss, lsof and systemctl commands. I wanted the information and the actions in one live terminal UI.

First workflow

Run portop and find a listening port, inspect the process and its systemd or Docker owner, then filter or open it in the browser. When needed, kill the process directly from the UI with confirmation.

Design choice

Portop follows the htop philosophy: live information, keyboard first controls and useful context at a glance. It combines process, systemd and Docker information without requiring extra daemons or complex setup.

Roadmap

The focus is on improving the TUI, adding more useful monitoring and audit capabilities, and making portop an essential everyday tool for Linux developers and administrators.
