Doc Browser is an API documentation browser with support for DevDocs, Dash and Hoogle.
There’s offline support. The documentation files themselves are downloaded to your disk when doc-browser –install-devdocs, doc-browser –install-dash or doc-browser –install-hoogle is invoked, however, to display the documentation, some additional Cascading Style Sheet or JavaScript files are needed, some of these are not packaged with the documentation files.
This is free and open source software.
