Summary Dependency Versions

devkit

Your terminal toolbelt — the small, annoying dev chores, fixed in a keystroke.

devkit is a set of fast, keyboard-driven terminal tools for everyday development. One hub, clean UI, mouse-friendly, no config to get started.

bun install -g @hicoders/devkit

Install with Bun, not npm. devkit runs on Bun and relies on Bun to pull in the right native UI binary for your platform. npm install -g is not supported and can fail at runtime.

Then just run devkit — or jump straight to a tool by name.

What you get

Kill whatever's hogging a port

That dreaded Error: port 3000 is already in use? Gone.

killport 3000          # kill whatever is on port 3000
killport 3000 8080     # several at once
killport               # not sure what's running? open the picker

The picker shows what's actually listening — grouped into your apps and services, with real project names (not just "node"), auto-refreshing live. Select with the keyboard or mouse, hit Enter, done.

No more netstat | findstr → copy PID → taskkill /F /PID …. One screen, one keystroke.

Start your projects with one key

Stop cd-ing into folders and remembering which script to run.

launch                 # pick a project, press Enter
launch my-app          # or start it straight away

Point launch at the folders where your projects live and it finds them all automatically — reading package.json, go.mod, Cargo.toml, and pyproject.toml. Press Enter to start a project's default command(s) (backend and frontend together, streaming logs); Ctrl-C stops everything.

Pin your go-to projects to the top.
Reorder the list however you like, or sort by what you ran most recently.
Press a to launch a different combo of scripts for a one-off run — it even remembers your last choice.
Add projects by auto-detecting a folder, or by hand.

One hub for all of it

devkit

A single menu lists every tool. Pick one, use it, and you're back at the menu when it exits. Filter with /, navigate with arrows or j/k, press h anytime for help.

Nice touches

Keyboard-first, but the mouse works too — click, hover, scroll, double-click.
Themes — press t to cycle; your choice sticks across every tool.
Remembers your setup — pins, order, and preferences persist automatically.
Instant — no build step, snappy native-feeling UI.

Try it without installing

bunx @hicoders/devkit              # the hub
bunx -p @hicoders/devkit killport 3000
