| What makes it different | - All files stay local on your machine with nothing uploaded to cloud services
- Simple one-time lifetime license model
- Not a production secrets manager—focused on local development workflows
| - Stops each process type the way its own tool does (simctl, adb, docker) instead of force-killing
- Groups processes by type (simulators, emulators, daemons, containers, servers) unlike Activity Monitor which lists raw processes
- Pay once, no subscriptions or recurring charges
- Free tier includes full menu bar app with stopping and Clean slate; Pro only adds automatic rules and extras
- Never stops databases, builds in progress or system processes without confirmation
