Peeka is a native Mac app that extends Finder’s Quick Look for developer files. Select a file and press the space bar to see package details, a formatted document, source code, database structure, or archive entries. Peeka reads the file on your Mac. You do not need a Peeka account, Android Studio, or Java.

  1. Download Peeka from the Mac App Store and open it.
  2. In Peeka, open Settings → General → Open Extensions Settings. On macOS 15 or later, you can also use System Settings → General → Login Items & Extensions → Quick Look, and turn Peeka on.
  3. In the format list, search for the formats you use and leave their previews on. Free formats start enabled. Pro formats stay off until you unlock Peeka Pro.
  4. Return to Finder, select a supported file, and press the space bar.
