Show HN: Open Finder files in Google Docs with one click

Hacker News - Mon, 03/02/2026 - 10:58am

Hi

This is an itch I've been meaning to scratch for some time.

https://glint.statictype.org/

Glint is a simple utility that lets you double-click xlsx and docx files in Finder and open them in your Google account.

I don't use Office and I don't like Numbers and Pages. My current workflow is to open Google Sheets/Docs and manually import files that are shared with me. Its a tedious process, and Google's design sense doesn't make it any easier.

This app tries to solve that.

It registers file handlers for .xlsx and .docx. It uploads the file the first time you open it. After that, it adds some metadata to the file so next time you open it, it directly opens the existing Google Doc without trying to upload it again.

This is the kind of utility app that exists because of agentic coding tools like Codex and Claude Code.

This problem has been an annoyance for years but not annoying enough that I wanted to spend time wading through the quagmire of Google Docs APIs and credentials and re-learning macOS UI programming with Swift.

I tried Codex for this, and while I still prefer Claude Code by a good margin, Codex pretty much one-shotted a rough version of what I wanted.

Let me know what you think!
