Any chance to add support for MacOS in the near future?
BTW, There are some apps/libs that work with it on MacOS already
eg.

AVIFQuickLook https://github.com/dreampiggy/AVIFQuickLook
Libavif https://github.com/AOMediaCodec/libavif
LibAOM https://aomedia.googlesource.com/aom

First two can be easily installed by brew (https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/libavif#default)
Lastly, it seems the newest macOS will support it since Ventura beta properly shows AVIF in the Finder and the built-in Preview application.
