title: Dev servers
description: Devbar lists the ports your projects are listening on, so you can open, copy, or stop a dev server without hunting for the terminal it's in.

Below the quota, the menu lists every dev server running on your Mac. Each row shows `localhost:<port>`, with the project folder and the process name under it.

Devbar scans each time you open the menu, using `lsof` to find TCP ports that are listening. A port counts as a dev server when its process was started from a project folder. System services and apps start from `/` or from inside their app bundle, so they're left out.

## What you can do

Hover over a row to open its submenu:

- **Open in Browser** opens `http://localhost:<port>`.
- **Copy URL** and **Copy PID** copy those to the clipboard.
- **Hide** hides every process with that name, like `node`, from the list.
- **Stop Process** sends `SIGTERM`, the polite way to ask a process to quit.
- **Force Stop Process** sends `SIGKILL`. Hold ⌥ to see it.

## Hidden processes

Hidden process names are listed in [Settings](/settings) under **Dev Servers**. Choose **Show All** to bring them back. You can also turn the whole list off with **Show dev servers**.
