TotalDocs
Read full descriptionHide full description
TotalDocs keeps the whole Total.js documentation on your Mac, iPad and iPhone, and reads it the way a native app should. THE DOCUMENTATION, WITH YOU Every library ships inside the app โ Total.js v5, v4 and v3, DBMS, UI components, Flow, CMS, OpenPlatform, Code, SuperAdmin, Total API, Monitoring, UI Builder and the rest. It opens on a plane, on a train and in a basement office, because nothing has to be fetched to read it. When you are connected, one tap brings a library up to date from docs.totaljs.com. READ IT PROPERLY Pages keep their structure: headings, tables, callouts and code. Code is coloured by language, and every block has a button that copies it. Links inside the documentation move you to the right page; links that point outside open in your browser. FIND IT Search runs through the library you are in and takes you to the matching section, not just to the page it lives on. The sidebar groups libraries the way the website does, so what you already know still applies. ASK IT The assistant answers about the page you are reading, using the documentation itself plus the Total.js AI Context guidance. On a Mac with Apple Intelligence it runs on your device: your question never leaves it. If you prefer your own model, point the app at an Ollama server you run. Either way there is no account to create and no key to paste. Answers cite the pages they came from, so you can go and read the source. SAY IT, HEAR IT Dictate your question instead of typing it, and have the answer read back to you โ useful when your hands are on the keyboard, and when reading a screen is hard work. MADE TO BE USED BY ANYONE Every library, page and result is one element with its own name, so VoiceOver reads the documentation instead of reading the icons beside it. The text grows from 80% to 250% with โ+ and โโ, or in Settings on the iPad, and everything grows with it โ code and tables included. The app follows your light or dark appearance, and it stops animating when you ask the system for less movement. YOURS, AND ONLY YOURS The app opens straight into the documentation, with nothing to sign up for. What you read stays on your device, and the documentation you save is yours to keep. TotalDocs is made by the team behind Total.js.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TotalDocs at none against QuickTerminal's 2. TotalDocs also leads on ads (none vs shown). QuickTerminal's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
