How it works
The Hunt, in three moves
A real Portia spider stalks for hours, plans the perfect angle, then strikes in a single leap. Your terminal deserves the same discipline.
01
The Stalk
Silent observation
Portia installs as a macOS Launch Agent and waits — listening to system signals, not polling. Zero CPU until something moves.
02
The Trap
EADDRINUSE detected
The instant a process crashes with a port collision, Portia identifies the offender, the PID, and the exact socket holding the port hostage.
03
The Strike
One-click kill
A native notification slides in. Click Strike and the blocking process is gone. No terminal, no `lsof`, no fumbling.
Tech specs
Built like the spider it's named after
Lightweight, native, and unintrusive. Portia respects your machine the way the spider respects its prey — patiently, efficiently, lethally.
0%
Idle CPU
Event-driven Launch Agent. Sleeps until a port collision actually happens.
Native
Apple Silicon · macOS 26+
Single signed and notarized binary, built exclusively for macOS 26 Tahoe and later.
Zero
Shell modifications
No `.zshrc` edits, no plugins, no shell hooks. Install and forget.
Stop spinning webs. Start hunting.
Free your ports the way nature intended — with intelligence, not brute force.
