Ports: find what's on :3000 and stop it
This 26-second video shows Ports in FavTray, a Mac menu bar app for developers. Every listening port with the project behind it, and one click to stop it. The Ports screen names every listening server by its project instead of just “node”, groups servers by project and stops idle ones with Stop all. You can watch a port to be told when it is bound or freed, and open any port for CPU and memory charts and quick actions.

Questions about Ports
- How does FavTray name a port’s server?
- It shows the project the server was started from, for example orbit-web on :3000, instead of just the process name.
