Description

Accelerate your workflow with the Quick Look conveniences that only Peek can deliver: searching, jumping, scroll restoring, syntax highlighting, & more. -- Due to system limitations, Peek is ~NOT~ able to support the following documents, not limited to: plain text (.txt, .text), rich text (.rtf, .rtfd), HTML/XML/web archives (.html, .xml*, .webarchive), TypeScript (.ts), Adobe suite (.pdf), Microsoft Office (.csv, .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt, .pptx), OpenDocument suite (.odt, .ods, .odp), nor any Apple iWork documents (.pages, .numbers, .key). -- • Rich previews of Markdown, TextBundle, PostScript, & .ePDF documents. • Jump to lines/pages & search documents from Quick Look previews in Finder & other friendly applications. • Brings popular system keyboard shortcuts to Peek-supplied Quick Look previews: search, jump to line, scroll to end/beginning of a document. • Supports Github-style Markdown with an optionally generated table of contents: • Autoload any of 191 HighlightJS languages or 273 PrismJS languages. • Lazy syntax highlighting, MathJax typesetting, and Mermaid.js diagramming. • Use absolute and relative local filesystem links. • MathJax with Tex input (full inline support utilizing a bespoke cmark extension). • Use a Quick Action to quickly rename a PDF document to an .ePDF document to search or copy text, more easily navigate pages, & preview using Dark mode themes. • Force click on terms to launch the Look Up functionality. • Preview sizes from 5KB to 1MB (excluding PDFs & property list files). • Save and restore scroll positions—continue from where you last left off. • Syntax highlighting with automatic language detection for the most popular programming languages. • Customize your preview experience with over 70 different light & dark themes, or customize your style in a CSS stylesheet. • Optionally include line numbers in source code previews. • Peek attempts to support previews for the most common file types, including those not currently supported by the system: • Cartfile, Podfile, .gitignore, .swiftlint.yml, .xcconfig, .swift, .c, .py, and many more. • Visit Peek's website for the most up-to-date list of compatible files.

  • Just What I Needed!

    I had been using several other apps to view just a hand full of file types, then I found Peek which handles 500+ file types. It works perfectly and having the ability to perform “find”, “locate”, “copy / paste” is incredible. Well worth the price. Thanks to the Dev’s of this app!

  • does not work with .ts files

    this may be a niche problem, but 90% of the files I work with are .ts typescript files, and those do not seem to be previewed properly

    At least on Ventura: - markdown renders unreadable in dark mode - no colors/sytax highlighting in .py or .c files

  • Invaluable, yet a bit buggy.

    I couldn’t live without it; however, I wish it were still under development because it has a few bugs: - Markdown text is not rendered the same as other renderers. - Selecting and copying text doesn’t work when invoked via Launchbar (it does work in Finder).

    I've purchased this unfurtunately, and now I'm unable to get refund, don't be as naive as me. The app isn't support a dark theme for PDFs, at least on a last macOS release, the code highlight are clunchy when it comes to files more than a few lines.

  • Was told I could view postscript files

    Every time I open a .ps or .eps extension, I simply get a window that state "Peek Diagnostics - The Uniform Type Identifier (UTI) is: com.adobe.encapsulated-postscript" No crap. I tried their troubleshooting they have, but nothing. It's so frustring that apple dropped postscript support in Ventura. I regret updating my MacOS. Was hoping I could view these files with Peek, oh well. Recieved a developer response showing I was using the app incorrectly. Thank you.

  • Great Tool!

    Great app, just needed it for XML at the time I purchased it, but this is really coming in handy!

  • A little overpriced, but easier than open-source

    Syntax highlighting for quick look is a must-have, but I don't feel good paying $8 USD for it. There are open-source options that are free.
