SiteSucker doesn't suck

How to keep studying an online manual on your Macbook while, for example, sitting for hours in airports or waiting rooms? This is the dilemma I will be facing in a few hours....

A quick web search for a tool to download an entire website to my hard drive turned up SiteSucker as a top hit, and a lucky hit it was:

  • clean design
  • so easy to use a manual is not necessary for first-time basic use
  • yet, an (also clean) online manual is available
  • localizes intrasite links so that they work when browsing offline
  • "hey, it just works"

SiteSucker is available as a universal Mac application, and there is also a version for iPhone (and iTouch). For frequently accessed sites with reasonably static content (product manuals being a prime example), think "speed and reduced data-download consumption."

 

SiteSucker is donation-ware. (If you use donation-ware that doesn't suck, Donate!)
