somo is a Rust-based CLI tool that serves as a human-friendly alternative to netstat for inspecting socket and port connections on Linux and macOS. It presents connections in a filterable, sortable table view and supports interactive process killing plus JSON and custom output formats.

Use cases

• find which process is listening on a port
• inspect open TCP and UDP connections in a readable table
• kill a process occupying a port interactively
• filter connections by remote IP, port, program, or PID
• export socket information as JSON for scripting
• replace netstat -tulpn with a friendlier command

When to choose

• you want a modern, readable replacement for netstat on Linux or macOS
• you need to quickly identify and kill processes bound to ports
• you want machine-readable socket output (JSON/custom formats) for automation

When to avoid

• you need Windows support
• you need deep packet inspection or traffic capture rather than socket listing
• you require netstat-compatible flags or scripts
