*NIX manual provides a clean and friendly interface for performing look-ups on commonly (and, more importantly, not so commonly) used commands. It stores preferences for font and a fully-customizable set of colors and also includes 9 attractive pre-made color sets. Pages are neatly-formatted and highlighted based upon your color preferences.

*NIX manual performs man page lookups either locally or remotely through freeBSD.org, with several search options to make finding what you need even easier.
With a wide number of search options including section, keyword, subsearch, and nearly full support for command line flags, everything you need to be productive while coding is now in your dashboard. Who thought coding could look this good?
