Man Reader

Man Reader is a handy little app for Mac that makes dealing with UNIX man files a whole lot easier. If you've ever tried to access these files through the Terminal, you know it can be a bit of a headache. You usually have to open them in another window or find some tricky workarounds. Plus, navigating through all that data isn't exactly smooth sailing.

Easy Access to Man Files

When you launch Man Reader, it quickly scans your Mac for all the available man files. You can view them in either text or HTML mode, which is super convenient!

Organized and Searchable

This app does a great job of organizing those man files into different categories. And guess what? It even has a search tool so you can easily find exactly what you're looking for!

Bookmark Your Favorites

If there are certain entries that you use often, Man Reader lets you bookmark them! This means your favorite man pages are just a click away in the Bookmarks menu.

Smooth Navigation

Need to jump around in the file? No problem! Man Reader can identify markers inside each man file, so you can get to specific areas super fast. And if you're searching for something specific, just type in your keywords!

Quick Access to System Tools

You'll also love how quickly you can access some key system tools like Activity Monitor, Console, Network Utility, Terminal, and Xcode right from within Man Reader.

Sandboxed Version Limitations

A quick note: if you're using the sand-boxed version of Man Reader, it won't support viewing man files from utilities installed on your Mac that didn't come from the Mac App Store. That means you'll only be able to browse standard man pages. But don't worry; there's also a non-sandboxed version available.

Your Solution for Man Files

If you're someone who works with man files regularly and wants an easier way to access their content without jumping through hoops, then give Man Reader a try! It's sure to make your life much simpler.
