I sometimes drop down into my Obsidian vault to do some manual file management, and it’s really handy to be able to use Quicklook to preview a file.
QuickLook doesn’t natively support Markdown, but there’s an extension you can install from the Mac App Store that enables support for several file types, including Markdown.
After clicking the link, the Mac App Store tells me “This app is currently not available in your country or region.” Can you share the name of the app you are suggesting?
It seems like glance-quick-look-plugin, it also has the github link: https://github.com/samuelmeuli/glance
Thanks for sharing.
Sorry for the bad link. Glance is indeed the correct app. Looks like it may have been abandoned.
I know this is an old topic, but I was looking for this currently. I found and installed QLMarkdown [^1]. As of this writing, it was last updated 5aug2024, so it looks like it is currently being updated and maintained. It works well on my macOS 15 (Sequoia) system.
[^1] GitHub - sbarex/QLMarkdown: macOS Quick Look extension for Markdown files.
One other thing, the QLMarkdown app does put a footer on the viewed page that advertises. If you don’t like that, this solution isn’t for you.
