Mottie

Mottie is a macOS application that lets users open and view Lottie animation files, including the dotLottie container format (.lottie) and standard JSON animation files. It provides a native player that runs directly on macOS, offering a lightweight way to preview animations without needing a web browser or additional tools. The software also integrates with macOS Quick Look, allowing users to preview Lottie content from the Finder with a simple press of the space bar.

The tool targets designers, developers, and anyone who works with Lottie animations on a Mac, offering a straightforward way to inspect and test animation assets locally. By supporting both the newer dotLottie package and the original JSON format, it covers the common file types used in the Lottie ecosystem.

Mottie runs on macOS 14.6 or later and is distributed as freeware. Its focus is on providing a fast, native playback experience and quick‑look preview capability, making it a convenient utility for macOS users who need to view Lottie animations without additional dependencies.
