Show HN: Proc – A semantic CLI for process management
yazeedaloyoun Tuesday, January 13, 2026
I built proc because I was tired of: - Googling "how to find process using port" every time - The cognitive load of lsof -i :3000 | grep LISTEN | awk '{print $2}' - Forgetting which flag does what in ps aux
proc uses natural patterns: proc on :3000 # What's on port 3000? proc kill node # Kill all Node processes proc ps --in # Processes in this directory proc tree -a 1234 # Where did this process come from?
Written in Rust, works on macOS/Linux/Windows.
