Local UIs

Local UIs

Discover what is serving now instead of relying on a hard-coded port list.

Run

python3 scan_uis.py

Use --no-open to create the launcher without opening it, or --json for machine-readable results.

The scanner:

1. reads TCP listeners with lsof;
2. limits probes to services reachable through 127.0.0.1;
3. performs short HTTP probes in parallel;
4. records response status, page title, process name, and PID;
5. writes ~/.local/state/local-uis/dashboard.html.

Interpret results

• 2xx and 3xx responses are available.
• 401 and 403 responses show a live service that requires authentication.
• Other 4xx and 5xx responses are reachable but unhealthy or not serving a root page.
• The dashboard is a snapshot. Re-run the scan before making a current-state claim.

Safety

• The tool does not probe other hosts or non-loopback addresses.
• A service bound to all interfaces may still be externally reachable; this scanner does not establish network isolation.
• Page titles and process metadata can be sensitive. Do not publish the generated dashboard without review.
• Do not treat an HTTP response as proof that the application behind it is healthy.

On macOS the dashboard opens with open; on Linux it uses xdg-open when available.
