Developer Utilities
Perga how-to
A macOS developer utility for port and process cleanup.
Overview
Finds the process occupying a port and kills it instantly so developers can return to development.
First launch
Open Perga from Applications. Menu-bar apps put an icon in the menu bar rather than the Dock — if no window appears, that is where it went.
How to use it
The quick guide walks through Perga step by step — read it here.
Settings
Settings live in the app’s own menu, under the standard macOS Settings item. Nothing is stored outside your Mac.
Updating the app
Perga checks in the background and shows an Install item in its menu when a new version is ready. You can also ask directly with Check for Updates. Past versions are listed in the changelog.
Removing the app
Quit Perga, then drag it from Applications to the Trash. Its preferences stay behind in ~/Library/Preferences until you remove them; nothing was ever sent anywhere else.
