What Pip is

Pip is a native Windows app that lives in your system tray. Open it and you get every development server running on this machine, one line each: the project it belongs to, the port it is listening on, the git branch it is checked out to, and what it is costing you in CPU and memory right now.

There is nothing to set up. Pip does not read a config file, does not want a list of your projects, and does not ask you to register anything. It looks at what is actually running on the machine and works the rest out — three signals, no configuration.

The window has one dock along the bottom, and each entry in it is a self-contained tool over the same live scan.

Servers

Every dev server, with project, port, branch and live metrics. Read the Servers guide.

Network

Every listening port on the machine, its bind address, and which of them are reachable from your network. Read the Network guide.

Storage

Coming soon — reclaimable disk across every project. See what is planned.

Half of knowing a tool is knowing where it stops. Pip is deliberately small:

• It does not start anything. Pip reports on servers that are already running. Starting them is still your terminal's job.
• It does not upload your scan results. Projects, ports, branches and metrics never leave the machine — see what leaves your machine.
• It does not need administrator rights. Detection uses unprivileged Windows APIs and the installer is per-user.
• It is not a task manager. OS services and privileged ports are filtered out on purpose, so the list stays short enough to read at a glance.
