Taskport

Taskport is a native macOS app by Gionatan that groups a project's dev servers, build scripts, and terminals in one workspace. It is distributed as a free, open-source Apple silicon download (version 0.2.0) and includes a CLI and portable skill so coding agents can work in the same workspace as the user.

What It Is

Taskport is a project task runner and terminal workspace for the Mac. Users save projects and tasks, review VS Code tasks and package scripts before importing them, and pin long-running services so a single Run all action starts them together. One-off commands and temporary experiments stay separate from pinned services. Each task runs in an interactive Ghostty-powered terminal using zsh, with retained output.

Local URLs and Tunnels

Each server task can be given its own local URL that can be opened or copied. An optional Cloudflare tunnel can be started for sharing; it needs explicit authorization and requires cloudflared to be installed separately. A tunnel opens in its own tab, and stopping the server also stops its tunnel. The sidebar subtitle shows detected listening TCP ports.

Working With Coding Agents

The Taskport CLI, installed from Settings, can list projects and active sessions, list listening ports, add or edit tasks, and start or stop them. A bundled agent skill can be linked into user-wide locations for Shared agents, Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, or OpenCode. Users can still see and use every terminal the agent starts.

Setup Path and Limits

Taskport requires macOS 14 or later on Apple silicon. The release is ad-hoc signed rather than notarized by Apple, so the first launch may require Open Anyway in Privacy & Security, and managed Macs may prohibit this. Closing the window leaves tasks running, while quitting stops them. Pinned services resume on launch by default, but scrollback and manual terminal commands are not restored. Updates use a signed feed and always need user confirmation. The README describes the software as early and under active development.
