Why is port 3000 always in use?

We just shipped Dev Ports in Room Service.

A new way to see and manage active local development servers across your Mac.

Dev Ports brings local server visibility into the parts of the app where it is most useful: Home, the menu bar, smart notifications, Ops Feed, and the command panel.

The goal was simple:

make active local servers easier to notice and easier to act on, without constantly switching between terminal tabs, browser tabs, Activity Monitor, and Finder.

When Room Service detects a project-backed local server, you can open the local URL, reveal the project in Finder, open it in Terminal, or stop the server directly from the app.

We also added shared local port scanning to the CLI, so there is now a roomservice ports command with JSON output, optional non-project listeners, and direct kill support.
