pttr 0.0.3, published by abhimanyu003, is a lightweight, cross-platform terminal UI application whose single purpose is to give administrators and developers an instant, keyboard-driven overview of every listening and established socket on the local machine together with the process that owns it. Launched from any shell, the program draws an ncurses-style table that updates in real time, showing protocol, local and remote addresses, state, PID, and command name; arrow keys or vim-style shortcuts let the user sort, filter, or search the list without leaving the terminal, while a built-in kill shortcut sends SIGTERM directly to the selected process. Typical use cases include quickly verifying which service grabbed a coveted port during development, spotting unexpected listeners after a deployment, cleaning up orphaned daemons before running integration tests, or demonstrating compliance during a security audit; because the tool is statically linked and ships as a single binary, it fits readily into CI pipelines, Docker entry-points, or minimal Alpine containers. The small footprint and zero-configuration design make it equally convenient on developer laptops, staging VMs, and headless production servers running Linux, macOS, or Windows. Three successive releases—0.0.1 through the current 0.0.3—have refined performance, widened OS support, and added mouse scrolling, while keeping the interface unchanged so that existing scripts continue to work. pttr is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
