How to manage development ports
Keep local dev servers, databases, and front-end tooling visible in one PortPilot view.
Local development often means five listeners (app, bundler, DB, proxy, tunnel) and a single EADDRINUSE.
PortPilot is built for that:
- Live list of bindings on the machine
- History when a process dies overnight
- Diagnose when “localhost is up” but the app layer fails
- Optional ngrok expose on Pro
- Pair a second machine (home server + laptop) on Pro
Start with Getting started and the localhost troubleshooting guide.
