About:
ipynb-quicklook is a macOS Quick Look plugin that renders rich previews of Jupyter and IPython notebook files (.ipynb). It extracts and displays the notebook's markdown and code cell outputs directly in Finder, eliminating the need to open the file in a full Jupyter environment. This provides an instant, readable overview of notebook content and structure.

Key Features:

Renders Jupyter/IPython .ipynb files in macOS Finder
Displays cell outputs and markdown formatting
Lightweight and fast integration with native Quick Look
No need to launch a Jupyter server for viewing

Use Cases:

Quickly inspecting notebook contents without launching Jupyter
Browsing data science projects and reports in Finder
Verifying notebook structure and outputs before opening

Alternatives:

qlstephen – Generic Quick Look plugin for plain text files; does not parse or render .ipynb structure.
VS Code / Jupyter Lab – Full-featured editors that open notebooks but require launching an application or server.
