Local Server Monitor

Local Server Monitor emerged from a specific need when developing projects in Next.js with the help of AI assistants like Cline, integrated directly into VS Code. During development, these assistants often launch local processes automatically to perform internal testing, using dynamic ports within the 3000–3099 range. When working on multiple projects in parallel or manually running servers using pnpm, this can lead to port conflicts, unnecessary active processes, and difficulty identifying which services are still running. To address this issue, I developed Local Server Monitor — a tool focused on monitoring and managing local processes within the 3000–3099 port range. Through a simple interface, it allows developers to quickly view active servers, access each port, and terminate processes that are no longer needed. The goal of the project is to optimize the development workflow in Next.js environments by enabling smooth coexistence between manually launched servers and those automatically generated by AI assistants, reducing friction, errors, and wasted development time.
