Data collected about you

Tiny extension. Mighty leverage.

Everything is opt-in, fast and private.

Instant link previews

Hover and see. Peek renders articles, YouTube embeds, tweets and product pages in a clean popup.

Faster than a new tab

Previews load in ~80ms from a 60kB extension. No lag, no spinner, no nonsense.

Queue for later

Send anything worth reading to your reading list with one keystroke — synced to all your devices.

Creepily private

Previews happen on your machine. No analytics on your browsing, no data sold, ever. Audited & open source.

How it works

Three steps. Ten seconds of setup, forever of calm.

  1. 1

    Install in 10 seconds

    One click from the Chrome Web Store. No account needed for the basics — Peek works immediately.

  2. 2

    Hover any link

    Peek shows a clean, distraction-free preview of what’s behind the link: article, video, image or product.

  3. 3

    Decide without leaving

    Read, watch or dismiss — all in the popup. Your tabs and your attention stay where you put them.

FAQ

Quick answers

Does Peek track what I browse?

No. Previews render locally and Peek has no analytics on your activity. The code is open source and audited annually.

Does it slow down my browser?

Peek is 60kB and lazy-loads only when you hover. In benchmarks it has no measurable impact on page load.

Which browsers are supported?

Chrome and all Chromium browsers (Edge, Brave, Arc) today. Firefox is in review; Safari is in development.

Can I turn it off on specific sites?

Yes — a per-site toggle lives right in the popup, or use * wildcards in settings for bulk exclusions.

Your tabs called. They want their life back.

Install Peek free and hover your way to a calmer browser.
