SmoothPeek
SmoothPeek gives Quick Look a second opinion — more file types, smoother navigation.
You hover over a file and want to know what's inside — instantly. SmoothPeek extends Quick Look with support for more file types, fluid navigation between files, and an experience so native you'll forget it's a third-party app.
Features
Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.
More file types
Preview formats that Quick Look ignores — code files, archives, fonts, and more.
Navigate without closing
Move between files in a folder while the preview stays open.
Works everywhere Quick Look does
Finder, Open dialogs, Desktop — wherever you can Quick Look, SmoothPeek enhances it.
Feels completely native
Uses the same visual language as Quick Look — no jarring transitions or foreign UI.
Instant preview
No loading spinners. Files appear the moment you press Space.
Keyboard-only workflow
Navigate, close, and open files entirely from the keyboard.
See what's inside.
