Dash

Dash is an API documentation browser and code snippet manager designed for Mac. This dash app stores your code snippets and instantly searches offline documentation sets for over 200 APIs, more than 100 cheat sheets, and much more. You can even generate your own custom docsets or request that new ones be included in the collection.

Dash comes bundled with 200+ offline documentation sets ready for dash download. You can choose exactly which documentation sets to download, and Dash takes care of everything else, making sure they stay fully up to date at all times. You also have the ability to create your own custom docsets, request new documentation sets, or load docsets from third-party sources directly into the application.

Listed below are all the documentation sets that ship with Dash. Every single documentation set has been carefully created and is meticulously maintained to ensure the highest quality and accuracy.
