Peek
Dynamic Island for your MacBook's notch
The song that's playing, charging, volume and brightness, and a shelf to hold files or AirDrop them, all in the notch.
Peek, Shot and Swoop are small Mac apps I design and build myself. Each one does a single thing, does it properly, and stays out of your way.
Dynamic Island for your MacBook's notch
The song that's playing, charging, volume and brightness, and a shelf to hold files or AirDrop them, all in the notch.
Screenshots, marked up where you took them
Capture an area, a window or the whole screen, mark it up on the spot and drag it into any app. Recording and pinning, too.
Download manager for macOS
Grab videos and files from any website, streaming sites included, and they play right away on your Mac.
Peek turns your MacBook's notch into a Dynamic Island, like iPhone's: the song that's playing, charging, volume and brightness, and a shelf to hold files for a moment or send them by AirDrop.
macOS 13 or later, on a MacBook with a notch or without one
Peek's full page is on its way.Shot takes over your Mac's screenshot keys. Capture an area, a window or the whole screen, mark it up right where you took it, then drag its card straight into any app.
For Macs with Apple silicon, macOS 14 or later
Every film on this page is drawn by Shot's own code, so what you see is exactly what the app does.
Let Shot answer ⌘⇧4 for an area, ⌘⇧3 for the whole screen and ⌘⇧5 to record. Press Space while choosing an area to pick a window instead.
The region stays on screen with its tools around it: arrows, lines, pen, boxes, ellipses, highlighter, numbered counters, text, blur, pixelate, spotlight, crop, and Read Text to copy the words out of a picture.
Every capture is saved, copied to the clipboard and shown on a card. Drag it into a chat, an email or a document. Capture again and the cards stack up; pick them all with ⌘A and drag them together.
Find an earlier capture in the history and drag it out again. Pin a capture over every window while you work. Record an area and trim it from its card. Or capture on a timer, with time to open the menu you need.
Macs with Apple silicon, on macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later. Shot is signed and notarized by Apple, so it opens straight away.
Screen Recording, to see the screen it captures. macOS asks the first time you capture; you can change it later in System Settings › Privacy & Security.
To the folder you choose, as PNG, JPEG or HEIC, and always onto the clipboard as PNG. Shot keeps a list of recent captures; taking one off the list never deletes the file.
By itself: Shot looks for new versions and installs them when you say so. You can also choose Check for Updates in its menu.
Swoop replaces your browser's default downloader, letting you grab videos and files from any website, including streaming platforms. Downloads open right away on your Mac, with no format headaches.
Universal app for Apple silicon and Intel Macs, macOS 14+
