A cross-platform desktop app for developers to monitor ports, manage Kubernetes port forwards, integrate Cloudflare Tunnels, and kill processes.
PortKiller is a cross-platform desktop application designed for developers to manage network ports, Kubernetes port forwards, and Cloudflare Tunnels from a single interface. It solves the problem of port conflicts and scattered connection management by providing real-time monitoring, one-click process termination, and integrated tools for cloud-native workflows.
Developers and DevOps engineers working with local development servers, Kubernetes clusters, or Cloudflare Tunnels who need to monitor and manage ports efficiently.
It consolidates multiple port and connection management tasks into a native desktop app with a clean UI, reducing the need for terminal commands and separate tools while offering cross-platform support.
A powerful cross-platform port management tool for developers. Monitor ports, manage Kubernetes port forwards, integrate Cloudflare Tunnels, and kill processes with one click.

Auto-discovers all listening TCP ports and enables one-click process termination with both graceful and force kill options, as highlighted in the Port Management features section.
Offers menu bar integration on macOS and system tray app on Windows with platform-native interfaces, providing a seamless and intuitive user experience across supported OSes.
Manages kubectl port-forward sessions with auto-reconnect, connection logs, and status monitoring, streamlining Kubernetes development without constant terminal use.
Integrates with Cloudflare Tunnels to view and manage active connections directly from the app, offering quick access to tunnel status for cloud-native workflows.
Only supports macOS and Windows, excluding Linux, which restricts its usability for developers on other operating systems despite being cross-platform in name.
The app is focused on graphical interface with no mentioned CLI or API for scripting, hindering integration into automated DevOps pipelines or headless environments.
Requires kubectl and Cloudflare Tunnel CLI to be installed and configured separately, adding setup complexity and potential points of failure.
