porty is a fast, real-time interactive port manager written in Go. It reads Linux networking data directly from /proc for maximum accuracy, presenting TCP/UDP sockets in a polished, Tokyo Night–inspired TUI.

Built for developers, sysadmins, and anyone who needs to quickly inspect or kill processes bound to ports.

porty version

• TCP + UDP port detection

• Kernel sockets (e.g. systemd-resolved, dhclient, avahi)

• PID → process name mapping

• UID → user detection

• Tags for:

  • USER
  • SYSTEM
  • KERNEL
  • SELF

• Auto-refresh every 2 seconds
• Manual refresh with r

Porty uses:

• /proc/net/tcp and /proc/net/udp
• /proc/<pid>/fd to resolve inode → PID
• /proc/<pid>/comm for process names
• /proc/<pid>/status for UID
• BubbleTea (TUI framework)
• LipGloss for UI styling

This avoids external dependencies like lsof or netstat, making Porty extremely fast.
