Nice — the use case for this is immediately obvious. I've spent more time than I care to admit running `lsof -i :PORT` or `netstat -tulpn | grep PORT` trying to figure out what's squatting on a port before running a dev server. Having a clean CLI for this with kill support is the kind of small tool that earns a permanent spot in your toolkit. Added to my dotfiles setup.

Ditto. Though I always take the lazy route and just change port numbers until I find an open one. My Mac is probably running like 20 different localhost apps at any given time.
