What's New in tldr

1.9.5

April 9, 2023

This update contains some small bug-fixes.

User reviews

No content

Will not download any manpage content, and therefore currently worthless.

Handy

Nice. Thanx

A time saver

Feels like a cheatsheet for *nix that filters out the fluff for those times when you just need to recall the options for a particular command. If you work on the CLI, this is a must have reference. Check out the vim section and thank me later.

So handy

Excellent app, so handy to have all this info and your fingertips.

Sadly it isn’t Too Long to Read

I got the impression this was a man page app. It shows no switches, doesn’t link to man pages, it’s a simple command aggregator and a wasteful one at that. I wish I hadn’t purchased it.

Response from developer

Hello davbran, I’m sorry to hear you’re not satisfied with your purchase. I’ll try to improve the app description for the next release - thank-you for making us aware of its inadequacies. You may contact Apple, if you wish, to get a refund of your 99 cents.
