Privacy

Last updated October 26, 2026

The short version

Peeka doesn't collect personal data. It has no account, no analytics inside the app, and it never sends anything about your use to us. That goes for both the Mac app and Peeka for iPhone. The one exception is a Peeka for Teams license with anonymous stats switched on, which shares two numbers a day (see below).

What the Mac app reads, locally

• Time since your last input. How many seconds since you last pressed a key, moved the mouse or touched the trackpad. Peeka never sees what you type or click.
• Whether your camera or microphone is already in use by another app, so Peeka can hide during meetings. Peeka never turns on, watches or records your camera or microphone.
• Whether a video is keeping your display awake, and whether a video or slides app is full screen, so Peeka doesn't interrupt a scene.

All of this stays on your Mac and is used only in the moment. Your settings and break counts are stored locally in macOS preferences.

Peeka for Teams

When your company gives you Peeka with a team license, it may switch on anonymous break counts for its dashboard. Then, at most every 15 minutes, Peeka sends us a random ID created for your Mac and, for each day, how many breaks came up and how many you took, along with the team license and Peeka's version. Never your name, email, apps, websites, what you type or anything on your screen. Your company sees totals for the team, not individuals. Peeka's menu shows when this is on. Personal licenses and free trials never send it. If your company asks for a pilot on our Teams page, we keep the name, email, company, team size and notes from the form only to reply and set it up.

Peeka for iPhone

• Screen Time, without the details. Peeka uses Apple's Screen Time framework (Family Controls). For the apps, websites and categories you pick, Apple gives Peeka only anonymous tokens. Peeka can't see which apps they are, what you do in them, or your browsing. Blocking happens on your iPhone.
• Everything stays on your phone. Your picks, settings, daily counts of breaks and skips, Peeka's sheep and dreams, and your onboarding answers (like your first name) are kept in the app's own storage on your iPhone. Deleting the app deletes all of it.
• Reminders are local. Peeka's notifications are scheduled on your phone. Nothing goes through a server.
• No ads, no tracking, no analytics.
• Peeka Plus. Subscriptions are paid through Apple, so we never see your payment details. To know whether you have Plus, our subscription service RevenueCat receives an anonymous app user ID and your purchase history (which plan, the dates, and Apple's receipt). No name or email. See RevenueCat's privacy policy.

If you join the waitlist we store your email address, the time you signed up and the page that referred you, only to email you about Peeka's launch and updates. We never sell or share it. Reply to any email or write to [email protected] to be removed.

Mac app purchases are processed by Stripe. We receive your email and purchase details to deliver your license and handle refunds. We never see your full card number. See Stripe's privacy policy.
