Only AppKiDo is current enough, but only to Xcode 5.1, AFAIK. If you are
running Xcode 6 mainly, there is nothing else that I know of that works.
AppKiDo and Dash are the only docset browsers I ever found when I looked a few
years ago, but I hadn't looked again recently until now. Now Dash comes up,
AppKiDo doesn't and the only other significant alternative to Dash that I
found was Zeal, which is for Windows and Linux only.
I found AppKiDo's UI quite clunky (you could only view a single item (method,
enum, class overview, whatever) at a time, also a kind of old-fashioned look
and feel). But I disliked Dash's UI even more: it used that style of
always-on-top floating window that didn't play nicely with spaces (this was
2012ish when I looked at Dash). The whole point of spaces is that you reduce
distractions for the task at hand by having apps in different spaces. Dash
broke that completely by appearing in *every* space. I wonder if that's been
fixed? (Answer: yes it has. Time to give Dash another go.)
These days I tend to always have internet access so I just look directly at
developer.apple.com in a web browser (no, I don't get on with Xcode's
documentation browser UI either). I know that doesn't help the OP...
If there are better docset browsers than Dash, AppKiDo and Xcode I'd also like
to know about them.
