Preview

Preview. A fast previewer that dispatches each file to a per-format renderer: images, RAW and HEIC photos, PDF, video, audio, text, Markdown, code, Office documents, and 3D models. Every renderer loads lazily, so opening stays quick.

What it can do

Section titled “What it can do”
  • Images pan and zoom without upscaling, with rotate and flip; HEIC decodes in place and RAW shows the camera’s embedded JPEG.
  • PDF with page navigation, zoom, and safe external links; audio with ID3 tags, bitrate, and sample rate in the inspector.
  • DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX open as sanitized, read-only text and tables.
  • glTF, GLB, and OBJ models spin under orbit controls.
  • Arrow through neighboring files on a filmstrip, or browse the vault’s files from the built-in sidebar.
  • The inspector edits the file’s real vault properties and comments — the same object everywhere.
