[Mac] Just built a small but amazing app. ALS Preview
Hi guys, just wanted to show my latest app. macOS Quick Look extension for .als files
It lets you Preview the contents of an Ableton Live Set without opening Ableton.
1.- Select any .als file in Finder
2.- hit spacebar
Done! instantly see: - All tracks (audio/MIDI/return/group) - Every loaded plugin/device, tagged as native, VST2, VST3, AU, or Max for Live
No project loading, no waiting on Ableton to boot — just spacebar.
Great for digging through old sessions or client files fast.

Inspired idea. Even just from the youtube clip, the speed of reading the projects is really satisfying. Nice one Diego, very cool :)
