kill any app by name. fuzzy search, interactive multi-select, zero zombies.

npx cli-killapp warp

1. scans all running processes via ps aux
2. on macOS, enriches with official app names via lsappinfo (so "Warp" is found even though its binary is named "stable")
3. fuzzy-matches your query against app name, bundle ID, command path, and binary name
4. shows an interactive multi-select checkbox — high-confidence matches (80%+) are pre-selected
5. kills entire process trees bottom-up (children first, then parent)
6. SIGTERM → brief grace → SIGKILL (-9) → process group kill
7. reaps zombie children
8. verifies processes are actually gone

# use directly with npx (no install needed)
npx cli-killapp warp

# or install globally
npm i -g cli-killapp
killapp warp

# short alias
ka warp

killapp <name> [options]

killapp warp              # find and kill Warp terminal
killapp "google chrome"   # kill Chrome and all its helpers
killapp slack             # kill Slack
ka figma --yes            # auto-kill Figma without prompt
npx cli-killapp discord   # no install needed

the search matches against multiple fields with weighted scoring:

this means typing warp will find the Warp terminal even though its binary is called stable.

• macOS — first-class support with lsappinfo enrichment for official app names
• Linux — ps aux with path-based name extraction
