Read different files in one workspace
- Markdown reading with tables, diagrams and formulas, plus access to the editable source.
- Expandable JSON trees and CSV tables, with source views for checking the original text.
- PDF, image and Office document previews. Office previews are read-only and depend on macOS support.
- Source-code highlighting and basic UTF-8 text editing, with undo, redo and automatic or explicit saving.
- EPUB reading with bookmarks, and read-only SQLite table inspection.
A resizable file sidebar, document tabs and workspace search keep related files together. Previewing a supported file is not a promise of full format compatibility or complete document editing.
Open source
Glim is MIT-licensed. The source repository contains the supported formats and project documentation.
