There is one pkg management utility with graphical interface:

• ports-mgmt/octopkg WWW: https://tintaescura.com/projects/octopkg/

Alternatives:

• CLI: ports-mgmt/portal WWW: https://github.com/culot/portal#portal---front-end-to-pkg8
• ports-mgmt/pkg itself: pkg search -o -g '*' | sort | less . Browse in specific category, e.g.: pkg search -o -g '*' | sort | grep ^net/ | less

What exactly do you mean by this?
There is an extensive Web interface that gives you a lot of information

realneet welcome to FreeBSD Forums.

FreshPorts offers a richer experience than the FreeBSD-provided page:



No inline screenshots, if that's what you had in mind, but there are links out to home pages and much more.

More importantly: FreshPorts allows you to chase a bug with your pointer.

Last but not least: the developer of FreshPorts is consistently good-humoured in response to unbridled criticism
