macOS Quick Look file previews

This cluster comprises macOS Quick Look extensions that preview diverse file types in Finder, including 3D CAD models, G-code, JSON, Markdown, and source code. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from, as only 0 dated entries exist before the index start. Among traction leaders, mac-cad-preview leads with 8 stars, followed by loupe with 1 star and EBookQL with 0 stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
