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 I kept installing multiple plugins just to preview everyday files, and most felt outdated or inconsistent.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 🙌

Quick Look should have done this years ago

Clean native no bloat

This is the kind of small tool that quietly saves hours
