Your ports. My rules. Zero conflicts.
Stop fighting over port 3000. Port Daddy gives every service a stable port, starts your whole stack with one command, and coordinates multiple AI agents — all backed by SQLite for zero race conditions.
npm install -g port-daddy

From atomic port assignment to service orchestration, Port Daddy handles the complexity so you can focus on shipping.
SQLite-backed ACID transactions ensure zero race conditions. Same project always gets the same port.
Use project:service:context naming. Query with wildcards to find any service in your stack.
port-daddy up starts your entire stack. Dependency ordering, health checks, colored logs.
Scans 5 levels deep to find 60+ frameworks. Handles monorepos, workspaces, and nested services.
Services signal each other when builds finish. Real-time SSE subscriptions for coordination.
Prevent conflicting operations. Take exclusive locks on databases, migrations, or shared resources.
Works with Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Aider, and 40+ coding agents.
Monitor services, locks, agents, and activity in real-time at localhost:9876.
Tracks process IDs and automatically frees ports from crashed processes.
Deep scanning detects 60+ frameworks across Node.js, Python, Ruby, PHP, Java, Go, Rust, and more.
Running Claude + Cursor + Aider simultaneously? Port Daddy provides the coordination layer that lets your AI agents work together instead of stepping on each other's ports.
Services can publish events and subscribe to channels—like a game of battleships where everyone knows which ports are taken.
Port Daddy keeps watch over your development environment. No more port conflicts, no more guessing which service runs where. Just smooth sailing.

Multiple autonomous AI sessions launch dev servers simultaneously, each unaware of the others. No human is watching to resolve collisions. Every port conflict wastes an agent cycle.
get-port finds a free port and hands it back. No persistence. Next time you run, you get a different port. Port Daddy remembers.
Like ropes on a dock, your services need to be organized. Port Daddy keeps your development environment tidy—no tangled mess of ports and processes.
