TL;DR: Download Dash 8 for macOS and try it out!

Dash 8 is free for all Dash subscribers and brings AI integration capabilities along with several improvements:

AI Integration

Dash 8 introduces support for MCP (Model Context Protocol), a protocol that allows AI assistants like Claude to access your documentation directly. This means you can now ask AI tools to search through your installed docsets and get contextual help with your code.

An HTTP API has also been added, allowing you to programmatically list and search your installed docsets and get results as JSON.

Enable MCP integration in Settings > Integration.

Other Improvements

• Alfred workflow: Reworked search engine now runs in the background for more consistent behavior
• Interface: Results dropdown is now resizable
• Data management: Automatic docset updates are disabled when low data mode is enabled
• Permissions: Improved clipboard permission handling
• Various stability and performance improvements

macOS Tahoe

I’m being cautious regarding Liquid Glass and have decided to keep the current interface for now. Interface changes will be considered in a future update, based on how the macOS community responds to Liquid Glass.

Your feedback is important! Please contact me with your thoughts on Liquid Glass or any other aspects of Dash.
