I built two free, open‑source native macOS menu bar utilities in Swift: GhostMouse & PortRadar

Description and use

Two free macOS utilities: GhostMouse, a stealth mouse mover, and PortRadar, a local port manager, both installable via Homebrew.

Problem

Mac users need a stealth mouse mover that keeps the system awake and a quick way to free stuck localhost ports.

Outcome

Both utilities are free, MIT‑licensed, and provide native macOS menu bar functionality without external dependencies.

Workflow

  • Install Homebrew tap joeystdio/tap
  • Run brew install --cask ghostmouse to install GhostMouse
  • Run brew install --cask portradar to install PortRadar
  • Use global hotkeys ⌃⌘J (GhostMouse) and ⌃⌘P (PortRadar) or menu bar icons to activate

Evidence

Over the weekend I built and open-sourced two native macOS menu bar utilities in pure Swift & SwiftUI (macOS 14+)
