Kill your Mac apps
with a shotgun.

Hit your shortcut. The cursor becomes a shotgun. Aim at the Dock and fire. The app dies on the spot. A real force-quit, with blood, a gunshot and DOOM '93 screen-shake. No dialog. No "are you sure?". Just BOOM. The fastest task killer a Mac has ever seen.

How it works · 3 shots

A task killer that actually feels good.

MEGAKILL in action · sound included in the app
01 SUMMON

Hit the shortcut

Hold your modifier combo (⌥⌘ by default). The cursor turns into a shotgun over any screen. You're armed.

02 AIM

Pick your target

Aim at the app you want gone: its Dock icon, or its window directly. Yes, that browser with 38 tabs that's been open for three weeks eating your RAM.

03 EXECUTE

Fire

BOOM. Instant force-quit, the shotgun blast roars, and if it was pinned it gets unpinned: the icon vanishes from the Dock for good.

Wound mode

By default, a shot kills the whole app. Flip on wound mode from the menu and a shot on a window closes just that window and the app keeps running (great for a floating Slack chat or a nagging alert). The Dock icon always kills the whole app.

Pinned cleanup

A closed app still pinned to the Dock? One shot and it's unpinned, and the leftover icon is gone for good.

The arsenal

Made to clear your Dock the loud way.

DOOM shotgun

A real DOOM '93-style shotgun sprite (CC0 assets). Recoil, muzzle flash and the exact id Software feel.

Real sounds

Real fire and reload sounds, not system beeps. Every kill is heard. Everyone in the open-plan will hear it. Good.

Configurable shortcut

Summon it with any modifier combo you like. See app, shoot app, app gone, in under a second. No menus.

Safety guard

Finder, the Dock and MEGAKILL are untouchable. It only shoots running apps; critical system processes are shielded.
