Very nice. I constantly struggle to remember the correct parameters to netstat and this seems to return the information that I need in 90% of my use cases.

Please see also `ss`

Think it should be explicitly stated that it is not available on Mac OS as procfs does not support it

Readme only mentions linux, so why bother mentioning Mac OS?

README also leads with a screenshot that has macOS window styling. So, "works on Mac" is a reasonable first impression to draw.

Before you get to that screenshot, you have to get past the big, bold sentence that says "A human-friendly alternative to netstat for socket and port monitoring on Linux.".

There are MacOS-like themes available. Eg: https://www.gnome-look.org/p/1275087/

Nobody is questioning what themes are available on gnome. Including a screenshot of the software running in a window that very much looks like macOS X is simply misleading.

The title `A human-friendly alternative to netstat for socket and port monitoring on Linux` is pretty clear.
