macports-viz
See why MacPorts ports are installed, where your outdated ones come from, and what
you can clean up. Installs a portviz command.
portviz reads the MacPorts registry (/opt/local/var/macports/registry/registry.db)
directly, read-only and without locks, and combines it with port outdated.
Descriptions, homepages, Portfile paths and build dependencies come from the local
PortIndex that port selfupdate keeps current.
No dependencies beyond the Python standard library; the UI's JS libraries are vendored.
Run
uvx macports-viz # open the interactive graph in your browser
uvx macports-viz outdated # or any other command below
uv tool install macports-viz # or install it as a `portviz` command
Needs macOS with MacPorts and Python 3.11+ (uv fetches one if needed).
From a checkout: uv run portviz, or uv tool install --editable ..
Commands
| Command | What it shows |
|---|---|
portviz / portviz serve |
Web UI: outdated / requested / unneeded lists, dependency graph, details |
portviz outdated |
Outdated ports, grouped by whether something you requested needs them, and which requested ports pull in the most |
portviz why PORT |
Tree of dependents from PORT up to the ports you requested |
portviz unneeded |
Ports nothing you requested depends on, with an uninstall command |
portviz cleanup [-v] |
Disk used by inactive versions, leftover build dirs, distfiles and logs, with commands to clean each (also the Cleanup button in the UI) |
Global options: --prefix (default /opt/local), --no-outdated (skip port outdated).
serve takes --port (default 8017) and --no-browser.
License
MIT. The bundled web UI includes Cytoscape.js,
dagre and
cytoscape-dagre, all MIT; their
licenses ship in portviz/static/vendor/.
Terms
- requested: ports you installed explicitly (
port echo requested). - not needed: not reachable from any requested port. These are usually leftover
build dependencies (the registry only records library and runtime dependencies), so you
can often uninstall them instead of upgrading. Keep one with
sudo port setrequested NAME. - used to build: installed ports whose current Portfile lists this one as a fetch/extract/build dependency. Only relevant when those are built from source.
- frees N: ports only this requested port needs, which uninstalling it
(
sudo port uninstall --follow-dependencies NAME) would also remove.

A note on package security
PyPI is a repository for distributing packages, not a service for auditing them. While third-party security researchers and our staff do their best to detect and remove malicious packages, PyPI cannot guarantee the quality, security or suitability of any given package.
