Mac app that shows all open files, directories, sockets, pipes and devices in use by all running processes. Nice GUI for lsof.
Features
- lsof - Provides a graphical interface for the lsof command to inspect open file descriptors and network connections.
- Open File Descriptor Monitors - Provides a graphical interface to list all open file descriptors, sockets, and devices used by every running process.
- lsof Output Parsers - Wraps the lsof command-line tool, parsing its output to populate a native macOS table view with process and file information.
- File and Socket Inspectors - Opens detailed inspection windows for macOS and Unix file, socket, and process metadata.
- macOS Process File Inspectors - Shows all open files, directories, sockets, pipes, and devices used by running processes on macOS.
- Process File Listings - Shows all files, directories, sockets, pipes, and devices currently open by every running process in a searchable outline view.

- Regex-Based Output Filters - Applies user-defined regular expressions or name/type filters to the parsed lsof output, updating the displayed list in real time.
- Open File List Filters - Filters the displayed list by name, access mode, volume, type, location, or regular expression to narrow results.
- File Listing Filters - Filters the displayed open files by name, access mode, volume, type, location, or regular expression to narrow results.
- Process-Grouped Outlines - Organises open files into a hierarchical outline grouped by process, with expandable rows for each file descriptor.
- File and Process Metadata Inspectors - Opens a detailed inspection window showing macOS and Unix file, socket, and process information for any selected item.
- File and Socket Metadata Panels - Opens a secondary window showing detailed macOS and Unix metadata for selected files, sockets, or processes.
- Process Refresh Timers - Periodically re-runs lsof and updates the UI to reflect changes in open files and running processes without requiring a manual refresh.
- macOS Table Views - Renders the open file list using NSTableView with custom cell views for columns like name, type, mode, and process.
