DevDocs Dash for macOSOnce you get use to it, you won't be able to imagine your life without Dash. It will save you a bit of time every day. Many times.
As a bonus you can use the "snippets" feature as a generic text-expander. That saves me tons of time when writing emails, too.
p.s. aText is not exactly a direct competitor; however, I replaced it through the snippets feature of Dash.

"the IDE had to be discoverable right away (which it was) and self-contained to offer you a complete development experience" This right here was the key to super flow state. Lightning fast help (F1), very terse and straightforward manuals. I have tried to replicate this with things like Dash (https://kapeli.com/dash), to some degree of success. The closest thing I had to this in windows was probably Visual Studio... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
You're absolutely right about the root cause being outdated AI knowledge bases/training data. I agree, my solution doesn't address that directly. Where this actually shines is with local LLMs (Ollama, etc) - smaller models, no API costs, fully offline, and the AI gets fresh docs without waiting months for model retraining cycles. Your point about convincing major providers to integrate something like Dash... - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago
