About Dash
Dash is a documentation browser for developers. It stores API reference sets on your computer, so you can search them without an internet connection.
What it does
Dash searches downloaded documentation sets for many programming languages, frameworks and tools. You can also keep code snippets and cheat sheets in one place. The app keeps the documentation sets you choose up to date. You can generate your own docsets from your own documentation, request new sets, or download sets from third-party sources.
Key features
- Search over 200 offline documentation sets
- Store and search your own code snippets
- Generate docsets from your own documentation
- Browse cheat sheets next to API references
- Keep downloaded docsets updated automatically
Who it's for
Software developers who move between many languages and frameworks. It also suits anyone who wants reference material on hand without depending on a slow or unreliable connection.
Pricing and good to know
Dash for macOS is sold as a paid app, listed at 24 euros. A Windows version is also offered. Documentation sets take up disk space on your computer, so download only the ones you use regularly. Because the app stores documentation locally, you can keep working while you are offline.
