DevDocs For Mac

If you've ever looked for a documentation search and browse utility for your favorite programming language or library, we're sure that you found the DevDocs.io web app as a powerful tool to do just that.

Even though DevDocs.io does not provide a desktop app, there are solutions to this issue, with EGOIST's cross-platform Electron-based app as the perfect example.

The DevDocs app is designed to be a wrapper around DevDocs.io's user interface, and it gives you access to all of the features and tools available on the website.

The app helps you browse and search documentation for the entire huge list of programming languages available on the DevDocs.io website, from the traditional C, PHP, C++, and Perl, to the more modern Go and Rust.

As an extra bonus, the DevDocs desktop client will keep running in the background even if you close its main window and, if you enable its global keyboard shortcut, you can summon it using the ⌘+⇧+D keyboard combination.

DevDocs allows you to search for documentation using the top-left search bar and it also makes it possible to choose what docs are enabled via the Preferences window.

It also comes with an in-page search feature designed to help you pinpoint a particular item in the documentation a lot faster and easier, just like you would while using the DevDocs.io website.

Moreover, the DevDocs utility also has built-in support for the keyboard shortcuts available in the web app, and you can find a list of all supported hotkeys on the DevDocs.io help web page.

DevDocs also features a dark theme and adjustable text size, designed to help you avoid eye strain while working at night or for long hours, respectively.

All things considered, the DevDocs desktop application is an excellent alternative to the DevDocs.io website if you don't want to have full-blown browser dedicated only to browsing and searching for documentation.
