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.
Linux is DEs support themes
Cause it's obviously a Rust crate, you would kinda hope that it might compile at MacOs. In 99% of cases that works.
If a Rust crate uses anything from the OS, and doesn't mention that OS, I wouldn't expect it to work on that OS, regardless if it's Windows, Linux or macOS. Just like graphical crates state what APIs they support, and if Metal is not mentioned for example, it is most likely not supported.
You wouldn't know unless running crate install.

I use lsof -i a lot on Mac, its not that I'm criticizing, but mostly disappointed.

The title `A human-friendly alternative to netstat for socket and port monitoring on Linux` is pretty clear.
Nah, homebrew made apple guys believe they get pretty much everything Linux has. Who would expect an exception?
because "Linux" != "MacOS"
sorry for the confusion about the macos like screenshot, I changed it to look more like Ubuntu
