Quick Look Markdown Files on Mac with Instant Styling
Folder Slice introduces a practical Markdown quick preview feature. Unlike the system default that only shows source code, you can now instantly preview the rendered Markdown formatting.
Typically, viewing formatted Markdown requires opening a dedicated editor or preview tool. With Folder Slice, simply hover over a Markdown file and press the spacebar to instantly see the complete formatted preview, including headings, lists, quotes, and code blocks.
For a more seamless experience, you can set the preview window to appear automatically after hovering for half a second, making document preview feel natural and effortless.
This feature is particularly valuable for users who frequently work with Markdown documents. You can quickly verify document styling and content without launching an editor, perfect for organizing articles or notes.
Download or update Folder Slice today to experience a more efficient way of previewing Markdown files.
