Amazing desktop application easy to use allowing to have all documentation needed in one single app, allowing to avoid having to lose time with note takers, note clipping tools or bookmarks. Free and working on both Windows and Archlinux. Available in standard ArchLinux repositories.
Running on Linux with full dark mode support in GNOME with Kvantum. Looks good with both the interface and the documentation itself supporting dark mode after you toggle it in the settings. It hasn't seen a new release in a while but the project repo is not abandoned. I don't think DevDocs quite compares and Zest seems to be dead, so this is a great option right now.
Excellent, but the dark theme is incomplete on Linux and absent on Windows. Developers say it is not possible to do it in Windows due to OS restraints ( [https://github.com/zealdocs/zeal/issues/811](https://github.com/zealdocs/zeal/issues/811)) In fact, I've seen plenty of Qt apps that have a perfectly functional Dark Mode on windows, so I think it's just there's no one interested in implementing it.
EDIT 02/12/2023
Dark mode has been added for Windows in version 0.7. Works pretty fine.
Summer 2020, seems like some doc sets or the viewer itself is broken, for example JavaScript documentation pages only show "Content rendering error" and a button "Reload Page".
This an amazing alternative to Devdocs.
Search is not as good as others (DevDocs, Zest)
