Looq: Preview Files

What it does

A better look at your files. Preview Markdown with KaTeX and Mermaid, highlight 190+ languages, view CSV and SQLite tables, browse archives and folders. All from Quick Look.

Quick Look is one of the quietest superpowers on a Mac. Tap Space on any file in Finder and a preview appears, instantly. It is delightful for the kinds of files ships with macOS, and somewhere between clumsy and useless for almost everything else. Looq picks up where Quick Look stops. Open a Markdown file and watch it render in full. Table of contents on the side. KaTeX math, inline and block. Mermaid diagrams driven by BeautifulMermaid for crisp native output, with mermaid.js for the newer chart types. GitHub-flavored alerts. Emoji shortcodes. Edit the file, the preview updates live , with zero flicker . Press space on a Swift file and the code lights up with the same colors VS Code shows…from parcse.com
