VideoGlance has been tested on macOS 15 Sequoia. Later versions of macOS haven’t been tested yet, and Macs with an Intel processor aren’t supported for now.

Installing VideoGlance

  1. Download the VideoGlance-1.1-46-arm64.dmg disk image and open it.
  2. Drag VideoGlance to the Applications folder.
  3. Select an MKV video in Finder and press Space.

On the first preview, or if you open VideoGlance, macOS asks you to confirm opening an app downloaded from the internet: click Open. After that, there’s nothing to launch day to day: macOS calls on VideoGlance whenever you preview a supported video.

With Homebrew

If you already install your apps with Homebrew:

brew install --cask kwadz/videoglance/videoglance

Homebrew adds VideoGlance’s repository, checks the disk image’s checksum and puts the app in the Applications folder. VideoGlance doesn’t need any other Homebrew package.

Updating or uninstalling

To update, close any open previews, then replace VideoGlance in the Applications folder with the new version. With Homebrew: brew upgrade --cask videoglance.

To uninstall, move VideoGlance from the Applications folder to the Trash. With Homebrew: brew uninstall --cask videoglance.

Release notes

VideoGlance 1.1 (46), October 29, 2026. First public release.

  • Quick Look previews and Finder thumbnails for MKV, WebM, FLV/F4V, WMV, OGV/OGM and RMVB.
  • Playback, volume and speed controls in the Quick Look window; play and seek in the Preview pane’s ring.
  • Known limits: only the default audio track is played, with no subtitles; macOS keeps its own previews for MP4, MOV, M4V and 3GP files, and reserves AVI, RM, TS, MTS and M2TS for itself. See the guide’s Good to know section.
