Description

Man Reader allows quick, convenient and easy access to the man pages on your system, useful for programmers, system administrators and tweakers.

Man pages provide the help needed to configure and use Unix commands and are usually accessed through Terminal, but this is a clumsy and inconvenient way to view the pages.

Features:

• List the man pages on your system.
• Show only pages in a selected section.
• Search for a man page by name.
• Bookmark your favorite pages.
• Jump to sub-sections in a page.
• Live links to 'See Also' entries.
• Search for text within a page.
• Display man pages in text or HTML (different pages look best in different formats).
• See and use your History of recently viewed pages.
• Add your own custom notes to any man page.
• Choose a font and font sizes for the display.
• View the app's custom man page for help.
• Extensive support for keyboard operations.
• Open multiple tabs or windows.
• Add custom search locations.

What’s New

Version 2.0

This is the long-awaited major update to Man Reader.
It is completely re-written using modern styling and practices.

As well as the functionalIty of the old Man Reader, this version allows for multiple tabs or windows.

Well executed and useful man page viewer

Man Reader is a breath of fresh air in a market oversaturated with subscription-based services and bulky Electron apps. Its lightweight, native build for macOS offers easy access to man pages. Features such as history, tabs, man page count, export text/html are all great.

The only thing I'd love to see is the ability to display the path of the man page (the developer tells me she's considering this for a future release).

Great app

I use this all the time worth every penny paid for it.

Very Useful

Not a necessity, but this makes reading the manual _so much_ easier. Worth its price.
