Key features

What makes it different
  • 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
  • Compiles to few hundred bytes compared to typical GPU programs
