              LocalhostWatcher gives your Mac a simple control layer for everything running on
              localhost. It sits in the menu bar, shows which apps are active, checks what is
              actually responding, and helps you open, stop, or relaunch the right app without
              hunting for the right window, tab, or command.

                It scans listeners, maps each port back to the owning process, and resolves
                friendlier names so the menu bar tells you something useful immediately.

              <p>
                Lightweight HTTP <code>HEAD</code> checks classify apps as healthy, unhealthy, or
                unknown so the menu bar state becomes actionable, not decorative.

                Open the local URL, stop a single app, or clean up unhealthy ones without leaving
                the menu bar.

                Save the apps worth reviving. LocalhostWatcher stores the original launch
                command and working directory when it can, then makes a careful relaunch attempt so
                your next session starts faster.
