Extend macOS Quick Look to folders, archives & code files
Unfold extends macOS Quick Look to preview folders, archives, source code, markdown, ebooks, and more — instantly from Finder. Inspect archives without extracting and read files with clean syntax highlighting. One lightweight extension, fully native and private.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
Quick Look is one of the best features on macOS, but it quickly becomes limited when working with folders, archives, or developer files.
I kept installing multiple plugins just to preview everyday files, and most felt outdated or inconsistent. So I built Unfold to bring everything into one native feeling Quick Look extension.
The goal was simple: press the spacebar and preview almost anything instantly.
Unfold will evolve based on user feedback, so you can request or vote on features here: https://features.flew.gg
I would love to hear what workflows or file types you want supported next 🙌
