Plexus

A powerful Raycast extension that helps you discover and manage all running web servers on your localhost (Node, PHP, Python, and more).

✨ Features

• 🔍 Smart Discovery: Automatically finds all running localhost web servers (any process answering HTTP), including those inside WSL
• 🏷️ Intelligent Naming: Detects project names from website titles or package.json files
• 🛠️ Framework Detection: Identifies popular frameworks (Next.js, Vite, Express, React, etc.)
• 🎨 Favicon Support: Shows website favicons for easy visual identification
• ⚡ Quick Actions: Open in browser, copy URL, or copy process ID
• 🔄 Real-time Updates: Always shows current running servers

🚀 Usage

1. Open Raycast (⌘ + Space)
2. Type "Plexus" or "Localhost search"
3. Browse through your running development servers
4. Select a server to:
   • Open it in your default browser
   • Copy the URL to clipboard
   • Copy the process ID

🛠️ How It Works

Plexus uses advanced process detection to:

1. Scan for Node.js processes listening on TCP ports (via lsof/ps on macOS, PowerShell on Windows)
2. Extract project information from the file system
3. Fetch website titles and favicons from running servers
4. Intelligently combine this data for the best user experience

🔧 Requirements

• macOS or Windows
  • macOS uses system commands like lsof and ps
  • Windows uses PowerShell (Get-NetTCPConnection, Win32_Process)
• Running Node.js development servers
• Raycast app
