Introducing
Port Kill
The easist and fastest way to monitor and kill dev ports and clear caches.
# macOS/Linux: Download and run the installer
curl -fsSL https://portkill.com/install | bash # Windows: Download and run the installer
curl -fsSL https://portkill.com/install-windows -o install-release.bat && install-release.bat What it does:
- Real-time — Scans configurable ports every 5 seconds using `lsof` commands to identify running processes.
- Detection — Detect and identify processes by name, PID, and any associated Docker container.
- Termination — Uses SIGTERM → SIGKILL termination strategy to safely terminate processes.
- Port ranges — Configure and monitor specific ports or port ranges with default being 2000-6000.
- Ignore — Easily exclude specific ports or processes from active monitoring to reduce noise.
- Clear caches — Detect and clear stale build caches automatically.
