Instant Blade Previews in macOS Finder

On macOS, selecting a file in Finder and tapping the Spacebar triggers QuickLook. However, files ending in .blade.php historically rendered as generic text icons without syntax highlighting. Quick Blade resolves this frustration for Mac-based Laravel developers.

Features of Quick Blade

• Full Blade Syntax Highlighting: Recognizes Blade directives (@if, @foreach, @props), HTML tags, and embedded PHP blocks with crisp colors.
• Light & Dark Mode Support: Automatically matches your macOS system appearance.
• Zero Performance Impact: Built natively using Swift and Apple's QuickLook framework for instantaneous opening with zero latency.

# Install Quick Blade via Homebrew Cask
brew install --cask quick-blade

# Restart Finder QuickLook service
