An unofficial cross-platform desktop application wrapping DevDocs.io, which aggregates many API documentations into a fast, searchable interface. It adds background behavior, tray/dock integration, and a global shortcut to the web experience.

Use cases

  • browse API documentation offline in a desktop app
  • search multiple API docs from one place
  • toggle a docs window with a global keyboard shortcut
  • keep documentation running in the system tray
  • avoid keeping a browser tab open for DevDocs

When to choose

  • you use DevDocs.io daily and want a native-feeling desktop wrapper
  • you want quick global-shortcut access to API docs on macOS, Windows, or Linux
  • you prefer tray/dock background apps over browser tabs

When to avoid

  • you need features like tabs or menubar mode, which are only planned, not implemented
  • you want actively maintained software - the latest release is from late 2021
  • you are fine with just using devdocs.io in a browser
