"It's curtains for you" - literally.
A tiny portable program for force-killing Windows processes.
From the English expression "it's curtains for you" - meaning that's the end, you're done. Plus, literally, curtains for windows! (pun intended)
A friend on Discord asked for a simple non-UAC SuperF4 replacement. I made this, then decided to share it on GitHub because why not.
Grab curtains.exe from the latest release, or build it yourself (see below).
It opens a list of every visible window - navigate with ↑↓, hit enter to kill the selected one, q to quit. (jk navigation is available too, because I care about you, Vim users :3 )
- Interactive TUI - browse your windows and pick one to send to the shadow realm
- Shows real application windows, not background processes
- Won't kill itself or system processes to spare your PC
- Single file, no install, no admin rights needed - simple as that
- Uses pretty icon I found here
go install github.com/FanaticExplorer/curtains@latestThis will install the latest version of curtains to your $GOPATH/bin, which should be in your PATH.
I'm a student building tools like this in my free time - if it's useful to you, a donation helps me keep going.
Window enumeration code adapted from my other project - WinOrchestra (MIT). So this project is also MIT licensed, but I don't care about that, do whatever you want with it. (but at least check out WinOrchestra, it's pretty cool)
