DevDock

A macOS menu-bar app that finds what's running on localhost, remembers how you started it, and lets you run, stop, and restart your local services without digging through terminal tabs.

Features

• Localhost discovery — scans listening ports and surfaces the owning PID, process, command, and cwd.
• Remembered commands — saves how each service was started so you can run, stop, and restart it tomorrow.
• Captured logs — collects stdout/stderr for services DevDock launched.
• Menu-bar native — lightweight Tauri app that lives in the macOS menu bar; no Electron, no dock icon.
• Optional AI assist — local CLI suggestions for project scans (opt-in).
