Portify is a network utility developed by Diego Fagundez that gives users full visibility and control over the ports in use on their system. Its purpose is to replace the traditional multi-step workflow of combining netstat, findstr, and taskkill commands with a single, streamlined action: it lists every occupied port, identifies the process holding each one, and frees a port with a single click or a single command. This makes it especially useful for developers and system administrators who frequently encounter blocked ports when starting local servers, debugging services, or managing development environments, as well as for anyone who needs a quick way to resolve port conflicts. A key design choice is that Portify displays one row per port rather than one per socket, keeping the listing readable, and before terminating any process it names the other ports that the same process is holding, ensuring that freeing one port cannot silently take down several others. The application falls into the network monitoring and developer tools category, combining port inspection with process management. Portify runs from the system tray and can be shown or hidden at any time through a global hotkey, keeping it accessible without cluttering the desktop. Alongside the graphical interface, it ships a companion command line tool for scripted or terminal-based workflows, and both interfaces are built on a single shared Rust core, which guarantees that the GUI and the CLI can never disagree about what constitutes a port or what terminating a process means. The current release is version 0.1.0, and only one version is available at this time, marking the software's initial release.
