PortKiller

Developer ToolsFree & open sourceby productdevbook

A powerful, cross-platform port manager for developers — monitor every open port, kill processes, and manage Kubernetes forwards and Cloudflare Tunnels.

PortKiller is Activity Monitor for your open ports: see everything currently listening on your Mac, what process owns it, and kill it with one click. It goes further than a simple port scanner too, with built-in management for Kubernetes port-forwards and Cloudflare Tunnels — the two things developers usually juggle by hand across multiple terminal tabs.

Why it makes the list

Finding what's squatting on port 3000 usually means lsof -i :3000 and a kill command copied from Stack Overflow. PortKiller turns that into a menu bar list you can scan and act on instantly, and it's one of the few free tools that treats Kubernetes forwards and Cloudflare Tunnels as first-class citizens alongside plain local ports, not an afterthought.

Standout features

  • Live port list with process name and PID, killable in one click
  • Kubernetes port-forward management grouped by namespace
  • Cloudflare Tunnel integration, including quick tunnel URLs
  • Menu bar quick access alongside a full management window
  • Search across ports and processes to find what you need fast
  • Native Swift app, with a Windows build sharing the same core

Pricing

Completely free and open source.
