Find and kill orphaned dev server processes hogging your ports.
DevKill is a Windows utility that discovers processes listening on ports via native Windows APIs and lets you kill them. It auto-discovers zombie dev servers (Node, .NET, Python, PHP, Vite, and others), shows them in a modern dark Fluent UI, and lets you kill them individually or in bulk. Includes CLI mode (devkill 3000), system tray integration, and auto-refresh.
