Looq 1.3.0 brought large file support, here's what's coming next

1.3.0 shipped two weeks ago. The headline change is that large files now preview instantly thanks to smart pagination, covering Code, CSV, SQLite, and Diff. A few other improvements worth calling out:

  • Mermaid engine upgraded with XY Chart support and faster rendering

  • New Diagnostics tool in the Help menu to check and repair QuickLook issues

  • Reading position memory with Off, Session, and Persistent options

Coming up next: metadata preview for .app, .ipa, .pkg, .dmg, .torrent, and configuration profiles. Sandbox, notarization, and signing info, all from the spacebar.

Looq 1.2: Live Rendering for Quick Look previews

Looq 1.2 adds Live Rendering. Edit a Markdown file, hit save, and the Quick Look preview updates on its own. No closing and reopening.

The key part: it doesn't flash. Code blocks keep their highlighting, Mermaid diagrams stay put, and only the parts you changed get re-rendered. Old content stays on screen until the new version is ready, then swaps in one frame.
