PortTraceX – Identify and manage local and remote port usage

Summary: PortTraceX is a macOS tool that identifies and terminates processes blocking local and remote ports. It enables SSH access to remote servers, displays active ports and processes, and provides real-time logs for forwarded ports, streamlining port management across local and cloud environments.

What it does

PortTraceX connects to remote servers via SSH without using terminals, showing active ports and processes. It allows users to kill remote processes, forward remote services to local machines, and view live access logs including requests, responses, status codes, timestamps, and IPs.

Who it's for

It is designed for developers who need to quickly debug and manage port usage on local machines and remote servers, including staging and production environments.

Why it matters

PortTraceX reduces the time and complexity of diagnosing port conflicts and monitoring remote services by consolidating these tasks into a single interface without manual SSH commands.
