Switchboard is a macOS menu bar app that detects localhost ports, groups them by project, and provides actions like opening URLs, reading logs, and visualizing dependencies between servers. It also offers a CLI and a config file (switchboard.json) for sharing setup, addressing a common developer pain point.

Target audience: developers (especially backend and full-stack) on macOS, and devops
