What it does

A Quick Look extension for macOS. Preview code files instantly with 700+ themes that match text editors, syntax highlighted via Tree-sitter. 100% private. One-time purchase.

Every color comes from the theme: background, gutter, line numbers, separator - not just the text colors. So previews look just like your text editor. Plus optional wrap & line number settings. You can just pick one dark or light theme... but why not both? With 'System' mode, CodeLook auto-switches based on your macOS appearance. Pick any font on your Mac and customize the size. CodeLook renders regular, bold , italic , and bold italic automatically. Instantly see code highlighted the second you press space. No file size left behind. Powered by Tree-sitter and a fully native engine written in Swift. .rs .c .cpp .swift .go .rb .py .css .js .jsx .tsx .sh .lua .json .jsonc .jsonl .yml //…from codelook.app

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
