JitterKill v1.0 — Initial Release

High-Performance Low-Latency Game Streaming Optimizer for macOS & Windows
Specifically designed for Moonlight, Sunshine, GeForce NOW, Steam Link, Parsec, and Tailscale. Inspired by AWDLControl.

Overview:

  • Triple-Interface Wi-Fi Lockdown: Simultaneously silences awdl0, llw0 (Skywalk), and nan0 (Wi-Fi Aware) to eliminate periodic Wi-Fi discovery ping spikes and packet drops.
  • Darwin Kernel Low-Latency Tuning: Dynamically sets net.inet.tcp.delayed_ack=0 for immediate TCP ACK responsiveness and elevates streaming clients to real-time priority (nice -20).
  • Intelligent App Detection: Automatically scans and detects installed streaming clients, auto-activating only when gameplay begins and restoring defaults when closed.
  • Active Tailscale Mesh Filter: Suppresses idle background VPN processes so optimization only triggers during an active stream.
  • Native Liquid Glass Dashboard & Menu Bar Companion: Full macOS app with live latency monitoring, quick toggle popover, and reactive status bar icons (mono_guard / mono_unguard).
  • Global Server & DNS Benchmarking: Real-time latency diagnostics for 12 public DNS resolvers, gaming platform APIs, and 64+ GeForce NOW edge clusters worldwide.
  • Zero-Sudo LaunchDaemon: Runs in the background via lightweight IPC (/tmp/jitterkill.control) without repetitive password prompts.
  • Windows Host Support: Includes helper scripts in windows-host/ to eliminate Windows WLAN AutoConfig 60-second hotspot scanning freezes.

Requirements:

  • macOS 14+ (Sonoma, Sequoia, or newer)
  • Architecture: Apple Silicon (arm64) or Intel (x86_64)
