πŸš€ I'm the maker of PortTraceX πŸ‘‹

Thanks so much for checking out PortTraceX β€” this tiny tool was born from a huge and annoying pain every developer knows too well: β€œWhy the heck is this port in use?” 😀 And then you spend 10 minutes hunting PID, killing processes, guessing root causes… I built PortTraceX to make that pain disappear.

πŸ•΅οΈβ€β™‚οΈ What PortTraceX does:

  • Instantly tells you which process is using a port

  • Shows root-cause analysis (parent process, command, history)

  • One-click kill β€” fast and safe Beautiful, minimal, Linear-style UI Super lightweight (Rust + Tauri)

✨ Why I built it I wanted a tool that felt instant, clean, and developer-first. No terminals. No guessing. No ugly utilities. Just a smooth experience you can trust. If you try it, I would love your feedback, especially feature ideas or pain points you still have.
