Lokal

See what is running on localhost.

Lokal lists every port your machine is listening on, the process behind it, and the project it belongs to. Open it, copy the URL, jump to the code, or kill it.

Everything listening, with the context you actually need.

Dev servers, databases, containers and the odd forgotten process pile up over a day. Lokal shows what is listening, which project each port belongs to, and puts the actions you would otherwise open a terminal for one click away.

Grouped by project

Each port resolves to its manifest and git root, so node on 5173 reads as shop / web.

Knows your services

Postgres, Redis, Vite, Rails, Docker containers and more, from one JSON file anyone can extend.

Actions without a terminal

Open, copy the URL, reveal in Finder, open in your editor, or kill with an inline confirmation.

Quiet by default

Inspectors, internal sockets and apps like Spotify fold away. No background polling, no telemetry.
