NoKill is a rescue tool for Windows applications that freeze or go "Not Responding", built on the principle that killing the process is the last resort. It detects hung apps with conservative multi-signal scoring, reveals hidden modal dialogs that block apps, diagnoses freezes with Wait Chain Traversal (including deadlock detection), and preserves rescue evidence - reports, screenshots, wait chains, minidumps, and app recovery artifacts - into a local Recovery Vault before anything touches the process. A background watchdog with a tray guardian mode preserves evidence automatically the moment an app is confirmed frozen, and a local freeze history tracks which apps freeze the most. Local-first: no telemetry; the only outbound call is the optional update check.
