About MEGAKILL

MEGAKILL is an independent Mac utility created by Arturo García. It turns force quitting into one direct action: hold a shortcut, aim at an app, and shoot.

Who builds MEGAKILL?

Arturo García is an independent developer and programming educator who builds and maintains MEGAKILL. You can find his public work on GitHub and Art0xDev.

MEGAKILL began as a practical answer to a familiar Mac problem: ending a frozen app takes too many clicks. It force-quits the selected app without opening a process list or confirmation dialog. Hold the shortcut, choose a target, and shoot.

How the guides are maintained

The guides explain the built-in macOS methods first, including Command-Q, the Force Quit window, Activity Monitor, and Terminal. Product recommendations appear where MEGAKILL can shorten the same task.

Pages identify their author and update date. First-party documentation from Apple, Google, and command manuals is linked where it helps readers verify a step. Corrections are made in the public website repository.
