PeekHarbor is a macOS app for previewing links, searching selected text, and saving bookmarks. On a MacBook with a notch, Harbor expands from the notch. Press ⌥⌘B or left-click the PeekHarbor menu bar icon to open or close it. Right-click the icon for Settings and Quit.

On a MacBook with a built-in notch, go to Settings → General → Harbor and turn on Click notch to toggle Harbor. Click the notch once to open Harbor and again to close it.

Check that your key is active in Settings → License. Then open Settings → General and check that Enable link preview is on and Accessibility says Access granted. Use the Preview shortcut listed there. If PeekHarbor finds nothing to open, your usual right-click goes through.

Select the text, hold the modifiers shown for your Preview shortcut, and right-click the selection twice quickly. With the default shortcut, hold ⌘. PeekHarbor searches plain text with Google. For a link under the pointer, one ⌘ + right-click opens Preview.

PeekHarbor works with links and selected text that the source app exposes through macOS Accessibility.

In Settings → General, you can change Preview, Bookmark and Open in Browser. Open or close Harbor with ⌥⌘B or the menu bar icon.

PeekHarbor needs macOS 14 Sonoma or later and a Mac with Apple silicon. Grant Accessibility permission for Preview and the related shortcuts.

One key costs $9, paid once, with lifetime updates. See Pricing for volume discounts.

No. PeekHarbor has no free trial.

One active Mac per key. The same Mac can activate again. If you try a second Mac, it gets refused until you deactivate the first one. You can move a key to another Mac after you deactivate the current one.

Choose the number of extra keys on Pricing and buy with the same email. Your keys appear together in your Dashboard.

You pay in US dollars on Stripe’s checkout page. palamto is the seller and receives the order details needed to issue your keys. Stripe handles your card details.

Your keys arrive by email. To find a key again, sign in to the Dashboard using the magic link sent to your purchase email. There you can copy usable keys and see which Mac is active. If you’ve lost access to that email, contact support@peekharbor.app.

1. Choose Move to another Mac for that key in the Dashboard. You can also choose Deactivate in Settings → License on the current Mac.
2. Install PeekHarbor on the new Mac and use the same key in Settings → License → Activate.

If the old Mac is offline, it may keep using its last verified license until it checks again or its offline access expires.

You can use locally saved bookmarks for 14 days after the last successful license check, and for 3 more days while Settings → License shows Check needed soon. After that, the license requires another successful check. Loading websites in Preview, Google searches, and iCloud Sync require internet access.

Request a refund within 3 days of purchase by emailing support@peekharbor.app from your purchase email. Stripe processes the refund. A full refund revokes all license keys in that order. A partial refund does not revoke them. See the Refund policy.

A payment dispute puts the order’s keys on hold for new activations. A Mac already active on a held key can still verify its license.

Your bookmarks stay on your Mac. If you turn on iCloud Sync, PeekHarbor also stores them in your private iCloud database. palamto cannot access that library.

The purchase and license system stores your purchase email, order details, and activation information including the Mac’s name, device ID, app version, and activation date. See the Privacy Policy for details.

So it can read the link under your pointer or the text you selected when you use a shortcut. That reading happens locally on your Mac. PeekHarbor doesn’t ask for Automation or Input Monitoring. It doesn’t send the contents of other apps to palamto either.

When you preview a link, your Mac requests that website directly. When you preview selected plain text, your Mac sends the query to Google Search.

PeekHarbor does not use third-party analytics or crash reporting. The app does not keep a URL history or analytics log.

Contact support@peekharbor.app or @palamto on X. We delete eligible data within 30 days of your request. Records needed to administer an existing license or satisfy a legal requirement are kept while that reason applies. The Privacy Policy also explains how to delete local or iCloud bookmarks.
