See it and stop it for free.
Restart it and run it with Pro.

$15 once, for up to 3 Macs, with lifetime updates. No subscription. Projects run in a real Terminal window, so your logs stay visible and Ctrl‑C still works.

01

Recent

Every dev server you've run, one click from starting again. If its old port is taken, Portmole offers the next free one.

Portmole's Recent tab listing four stopped projects (Storefront, Notes from the Burrow, Admin and payments) with their ports, start commands and when they last ran, each with a play button to start it again.
02

Open a project

Pick any folder and Portmole works out how to run it, using the right package manager and installing dependencies if needed.

Portmole's Run dialog for ~/Code/acme-dashboard: it detected pnpm dev and pnpm preview, with port 3010 turning the command into PORT=3010 pnpm dev --port 3010, and opens in a new Terminal window.
03

Change port

Move a server to another port. Portmole rewrites the start command for the framework (--port for Vite, Next and Astro, PORT= for Express), shows it for review, and restarts there.

An expanded Portmole row for :3000 Acme Dashboard with the new port set to 3001, the rewritten command PORT=3001 pnpm dev --port 3001, and a Restart on :3001 button.
