QLStephen is a macOS QuickLook plugin that lets you preview plain text files without a file extension, such as README, INSTALL, CHANGELOG, or package.json. It is a small Objective-C qlgenerator bundle installable via Homebrew or manual copy.
Use cases
- preview extensionless text files in macOS Finder
- quickly view README or CHANGELOG with spacebar
- preview package.json without opening an editor
- add plain text support to macOS QuickLook
- view Capfile and INSTALL files on hover
When to choose
- you work on macOS and frequently preview extensionless text files
- you want a lightweight Finder preview without opening an editor
- you want a simple Homebrew-installable QuickLook extension
When to avoid
- you need previews for files with extensions like .txt (requires extra configuration)
- you are not on macOS
- you need a signed, actively developed plugin with guaranteed future macOS compatibility
