snitch is a Go CLI/TUI tool that provides a friendlier alternative to ss and netstat for inspecting network connections. It displays connections in styled tables or a clean terminal UI with themes, DNS resolution, and configurable refresh intervals.
Use cases
- inspect active network connections from the terminal
- find which processes have open sockets
- replace netstat with a prettier tool
- watch live network connections with a tui
- resolve hostnames for active connections
- debug listening ports on my machine
When to choose
- you want a human-friendly, themed replacement for ss/netstat
- you need a lightweight cross-platform connection inspector with a TUI
- you want easy installation via homebrew, nix, aur, or docker
When to avoid
- you need deep packet inspection or traffic capture (use tcpdump/wireshark)
- you need scripted machine-readable output for automation pipelines
- you require firewall or connection-blocking features
