Looq 2.0.0 for Mac
Mac UtilitiesPress the space bar on a file in Finder and Quick Look shows a preview. For images and PDFs it shines, but for the files developers and writers touch daily it often shows raw text or a blank panel. Looq is a Quick Look extension that renders those files properly: Markdown with real formatting, code with color, database tables you can sort, and archives you can browse.
Key Features
- Renders Markdown with formatting, diagrams and a table of contents
- Highlights code in a wide range of programming languages
- Shows SQLite databases as sortable tables with column types
- Previews CSV sheets, diff files and archive contents in place
- Live rendering refreshes the preview when the file changes on disk
How to Download
- Use the download button on this page, or Download from the official site to open the official Looq listing.
- Install Looq and launch it once, so macOS registers the Quick Look extension.
- Select a Markdown file, a database or an archive in Finder and press the space bar.
System Requirements
Looq needs macOS 14 or later. It is a small extension that works inside Finder through Quick Look, so there is no separate library or account to manage.
FAQs
Which files does Looq help with?
Markdown documents, source code, SQLite databases, CSV sheets, diff files, archives and folders are its home ground, along with metadata for app and package files.
Does Looq open or edit my files?
No. Looq only renders previews inside Quick Look. Your files are never opened for editing and never modified by the extension.
A preview still looks plain after installing. What helps?
Open Looq once after installing so the extension registers. If a preview still looks unchanged, check that Looq is enabled in the extensions settings.
