udp_listener
udp_listener is a network utility for macOS that listens for incoming UDP packets on a specified port and displays their contents, typically used by network engineers, developers and system administrators for debugging network communication, testing UDP-based services, or monitoring traffic on local networks. The app provides a lightweight command-line or GUI interface for real-time packet inspection without requiring a full-featured packet sniffer.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find recent information about udp_listener in public sources, so we cannot confirm whether a native Apple Silicon build exists. Given the September 2028 macOS 28 deadline when Intel-only apps will stop working, if you rely on this utility contact the developer at dogparksoftware to ask whether they have shipped or plan to ship a native Apple Silicon build. In the meantime, the Intel version continues to run under Rosetta 2 on Apple Silicon Macs, but you will need to migrate before that support ends. As a more actively maintained alternative, consider using open-source tools like tcpdump (available through Homebrew) or Wireshark — both have confirmed native Apple Silicon support and offer more detailed network analysis than a basic UDP listener.
