Command line tools

Gretl is a port manager for developers. It sits in your menu bar, watches every port on your machine, and lets you name, group, start, stop, and share them — so "what's running on 3001?" is never a mystery. Works standalone or alongside your existing tools. Ships with a CLI (gr list, gr start), a Python/Ruby/Node SDK, and a gr.toml you can commit so teammates get the same setup automatically.

Gretl Alternatives

Gretl offers a visual control panel for localhost services. Need secure sharing or previews? Try Ngrok for tunnels and introspection, btunnel for quick TCP/HTTP exposure, and Portrackr to map and manage dev ports. Working in Kubernetes? Signadot provides K8s-native, sandboxed validations.
