New · Peeka 1.0.2 for macOS 14+

Your notch, finally useful.

Peeka turns the black strip at the top of your MacBook into a living hub. Music, calendar, battery, files and notifications show up exactly when you need them, and stay out of the way when you don't.

Free to use · 7-day Pro trial built in · Apple Silicon & Intel

Animation: the notch shows the song playing, then opens into widgets when the cursor hovers it, then shows charging and AirPods status.

Native Swift, light on CPU

Works on Macs without a notch

No account, no tracking

English & Tiếng Việt

01 · Live activities

Everything that's happening, at a glance.

The notch quietly grows to show what matters right now: the song playing, your charger, AirPods battery, a download finishing, a meeting about to start. Then it tucks itself away.

  • Now playing
  • Charging
  • AirPods & Bluetooth
  • Volume & brightness
  • Focus timer
  • Downloads
  • Upcoming meeting
  • Camera & mic in use

02 · Gestures

Control music without leaving your work.

Move the pointer onto the notch, then use the trackpad. Swipe fast for big volume jumps, slowly for fine steps, and feel a gentle tap every 5%.

  1. 1Hover the notch to open it
  2. 2Scroll up or down to change volume
  3. 3Swipe sideways to skip tracks

03 · Widgets

Your day, one hover away.

Hover the notch and it opens into a panel of widgets you choose and arrange: now playing, calendar with quick add, battery and system stats, Pomodoro, weather, reminders, world clock and more.

  • Now Playing
  • Calendar
  • Battery & System
  • WeatherPRO
  • Focus
  • World ClockPRO
  • RemindersPRO
  • Timer & Stopwatch
  • Quick Actions
  • Tray
  • MirrorPRO

04 · Drop files

A shelf for files, right where you look.

Drag any file to the notch to park it in the Tray or send it with AirDrop. Your latest screenshots land there too, ready to drag into any app.

  • Hold files between apps and Spaces
  • AirDrop in one drop
  • Recent screenshots, always at hand

05 · Synced lyrics PRO

Sing along, line by line.

Open lyrics from the music widget and follow along. The current line lights up in the colour of the album art and scrolls by itself. Click any line to jump there.

  • Works with Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube in the browser
  • Smart title cleanup for video uploads
  • Glow that follows the album colour

06 · Notifications PRO

Messages drop out of the notch, not the corner.

Messages, mail and reminders appear right under the notch where your eyes already are, then slide back in. Right-click one to mute that app.

And a lot more, built in.

Small things that add up. Turn on only what you need in Settings.

Questions

Is Peeka free?

Yes. The core app is free with no time limit. Pro features unlock with a one-time purchase, and every new install gets a 7-day Pro trial automatically.

Which Macs does it work on?

Any Mac with macOS 14 Sonoma or later, on Apple Silicon or Intel. On Macs without a notch, and on external displays, Peeka draws a virtual notch at the top of the screen. The music visualizer and per-app volume need macOS 14.2 or later.

macOS says it can't open Peeka. Is it safe?

Yes. Peeka is not notarized by Apple yet, so macOS asks you to confirm the first time. Follow the 1-minute guide to open it.

Will it slow down my Mac or drain the battery?

Peeka is a native Swift app built to stay idle when nothing is happening. Animations only run while visible, and anything you don't use can be switched off.

What about my privacy?

No account and no analytics. Your data stays on your Mac. Peeka only goes online to fetch lyrics, weather and to activate your license, and it asks for each permission only when you turn on a feature that needs it.

How do I activate Pro?

After checkout you receive a license key by email. Open Peeka, go to Settings, then Pro, paste the key and click Activate.

Give your notch something to do.

Free download. Pro trial included. Takes under a minute to set up.
