What is it?

LazyPorts is a terminal user interface for viewing and managing network ports on Linux. It shows open TCP and UDP ports in an interactive table, so you can see which process is holding a port without running separate lookup commands.

From the table you can filter by port, PID, or process name, sort by port, process name, or PID, and open a detail view with the full command, user, and start time. Pressing k terminates the selected process, which is useful when a dev server is stuck on a port you need.

The tool is written in Go and built with Bubble Tea and Lipgloss. It is installed with a single curl script, which places the binary in /usr/local/bin or your Go bin directory.

Key features

  • 01Interactive table of open TCP and UDP ports.
  • 02Filter by port, PID, or process name with /.
  • 03Sort by port, process name, or PID.
  • 04Detail view showing full command, user, and start time.
  • 05Kill a selected process directly from the list.
  • 06Identifies system processes and flags those requiring root privileges.

Use cases

  • Finding which process is blocking a port when a dev server fails to start.
  • Cleaning up leftover processes that still hold ports after a crash.
  • Checking which services are listening on a Linux machine.
