Looq upgrades Quick Look for dev files

Parcse’s Mac utility turns Quick Look into a much more capable file inspector, with Markdown rendering for KaTeX and Mermaid, syntax highlighting for 190+ languages, CSV and SQLite table views, and archive/folder browsing. It’s built in Swift, runs locally, and avoids collecting user data.

// ANALYSIS

This is the kind of utility that looks modest on paper but saves real time in daily use: if you live in Finder, repos, or raw data files, Looq cuts out a lot of context switching.

  • Markdown support goes beyond basic rendering, with GFM, math, diagrams, GitHub-style alerts, and an auto-generated TOC sidebar.
  • The code viewer covers 190+ languages and adds practical touches like line numbers, custom fonts, tab width, word wrap, themes, and shebang detection.
  • CSV, TSV, SQLite, diff/patch, ZIP, TAR, and folder previews make this a broad “peek before opening” tool, not just a markdown viewer.
  • The privacy angle is a real differentiator for a file utility: local-only operation and zero analytics are strong selling points for sensitive projects.
  • It feels like a polished power-user extension more than a flashy launch, which is exactly the kind of app that becomes sticky.
