What is Port Kill?
A lightweight cross-platform status bar app that monitors and manages development processes running on configurable ports. The app provides real-time process detection and allows you to kill individual processes or all processes at once.
Problem
Developers manually check and terminate processes on specific ports using command-line tools, which is time-consuming and cumbersome when managing multiple ports simultaneously.
Solution
A cross-platform status bar app that monitors dev ports in real-time and lets users kill individual or all processes instantly, e.g., terminating a Node.js server occupying port 3000.
Customers
Software developers and DevOps engineers who work with multiple local development servers and face port conflicts.
Unique Features
Cross-platform real-time port monitoring, one-click bulk process termination, and configurable port management without CLI commands.
