Choose the app language

Choose GlyphGlance → Settings… → General. Under App Language, choose English, German, French, Spanish, Hindi, or Simplified Chinese, then choose Apply and Relaunch. Follow System uses your Mac’s preferred languages. GlyphGlance restarts and reopens your documents; an open Help window switches to the selected language.

Changing the app language does not translate your documents. You can also choose the app language in System Settings → General → Language & Region → Applications, then quit and reopen GlyphGlance. Content Language in Document Info describes the document itself and helps with pronunciation and export metadata.

Open a document

Choose File → Open… or double-click a supported file. To preview a file in Finder, select it and press Space.

If Finder does not show GlyphGlance's preview, enable GlyphGlance Quick Look in System Settings → General → Login Items & Extensions → Quick Look. Another Markdown preview extension may need to be disabled if it takes priority.

Supported file endings include .md, .markdown, .mdown, .mkd, .mkdn, .mermaid, .mmd, and .fountain. Leave Markdown Variant on Automatic unless a document needs a particular profile. Changing the profile affects only the current window.
