Porta

Native Port Intelligence for macOS

Every connection,
finally in context.

Porta follows the signal from the physical port to the cable, tunnel, hub, and device at the other end. It keeps the registry underneath a clear explanation.

The Port Is Only the Beginning

One path.
Every useful detail.

Porta keeps each observation attached to the physical connection it actually describes.

01

Physical First

Know which port you are looking at.

Thunderbolt, USB‑C, HDMI, SD Card, and 3.5 mm audio remain distinct. Each keeps the details that belong to it.

Cable and Power

What it promises. What it actually delivers.

Porta keeps advertised capability, host input, and device consumption separate so every number retains its meaning.

Remote macOS & Linux Monitoring

See another computer.
Without installing the full app.

Install the standalone Agent on a remote Mac or Linux server, pair it once, and view its ports, bandwidth, and topology from Porta on your Mac.

Debian / Ubuntu Install and start in one line
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -fsSL https://porta.uwucocoa.moe/install-agent.sh | sudo sh

Detects the architecture, verifies SHA-256, and starts the local-only service. It prints the secure remote-access and pairing steps when finished. Review script

Installing on the same Mac? Porta already includes its local Agent, so there is nothing else to install.
