Description
Zeal is an offline documentation browser, a personal reference library that you can search instantly without an internet connection. It offers 981 docsets at the time of the site, covering languages, frameworks and libraries, and includes both official and user-contributed collections. You download the docsets you need and search them from one place. The site provides downloads for Windows and Linux, and points macOS users to Dash, which is a separate commercial product. Zeal is useful for developers who want their reference material to be available on a laptop during travel or on a poor connection, and for anyone who prefers to search documentation locally rather than through a browser. The project lists its version on the homepage and has a usage page and a contact page. The source code is on GitHub under zealdocs.…
