Your curiosity, on your terms.

A friend.
With boundaries.

A closer look at what stays in your browser, what you choose to share, and the controls you have. Open a topic to read the details.

Coming Soon Automatic Peek Recs is locked in the current extension. Manual Adventures is a separate, optional feature.

This website

This is a public product website. It has no sign-in, mailing-list form, advertising tracker, or third-party analytics added by us. Choosing a look changes only the preview on this page; it doesn’t read your extension settings or browsing activity.

The Adventures examples and homepage checklist run on this page. They do not request location, search providers, or save your preview choices. Reloading resets them.

A built-in Peek keeps you company on this website without interest recognition. Hiding him saves a choice only for this tab’s session. When your enabled Peekscape extension renders here, the local companion steps aside using a page-level presence signal; the website does not read your extension preferences or saved interests.

The local companion’s checklist saves its title, checkbox items and completion state in this website’s local browser storage. It is separate from the homepage checklist preview and the extension’s checklist.

The browser companion

Website setup turns on Peek and local interest suggestions together after you grant website access. You can switch to companion only or turn suggestions off in Privacy at any time. Chrome’s website access permission is necessary for the extension to display a companion on ordinary websites.

Appearance, saved interests, companion preferences and your checklist are stored in your browser. The extension is in development; this page describes the current build.

Optional interest suggestions

Interest suggestions turn on by default when you complete website setup and grant access. While suggestions are on, local matching uses settled page titles. Supported YouTube pages can also use video keyword metadata. Known private workspaces, common account and payment routes, and local-network pages are skipped.

Saved matching evidence uses title fingerprints and topic matches rather than raw titles or URLs. Evidence is capped at 100 records and retained for up to 30 calendar days. Matching uses a bundled dictionary; no remote AI model or model download is required.

Stored on this browser

The extension stores your appearance, position, topic choices, Adventures and location preferences, New Tab preferences, and checklist title and checkbox items. Recommendation timing information and up to 50 recently shown provider IDs from earlier development builds may also remain in local storage.

Recognition saves no raw page titles, URLs, page bodies, messages, form contents or cookies. Pointer positions and New Tab searches are not saved. Your browser’s default search engine handles New Tab searches.

Clear local evidence & reset choices in Privacy removes matching evidence and topic choices. Appearance, position and checklist items remain.

Optional Peek Adventures

Manual Adventures starts off. You choose an interest and enter a city or explicitly allow a one-time location lookup. Peek immediately rounds device coordinates to two decimal places and keeps only the approximate area in memory while the Adventures view is open. Your city or location is not saved to extension storage. Forgetting the area, leaving Adventures, or turning it off clears that area.

Chrome requires a declared location capability for manual lookups. Peekscape reads your location only after you select Use my location and Allow once. Installing the extension does not trigger a location lookup. Browser or operating-system restrictions can prevent that lookup; city entry still works. The public companion on this website does not request location.

Adventures builds search suggestions locally. Opening a suggestion shares that search’s activity terms and area with Google Maps or Google search; event searches can lead to Eventbrite, Meetup, or an organizer. Browsing evidence, other interests, and checklist contents are not included. Check listings, dates, prices and availability on those services. Adding a next step stores only task text in your local extension checklist, without coordinates.

Automatic Peek Recs

Coming Soon

Automatic recommendations are Coming Soon and cannot be enabled in the current extension. The release lock prevents automatic location lookups, provider searches and recommendation delivery, and clears earlier enabled or pending recommendation state on startup. Adding provider credentials alone does not unlock it.

The prepared design would send one selected interest and your rounded approximate area to Peekscape’s discovery service and a connected Google Maps or Ticketmaster provider. It would exclude page titles, URLs, browsing evidence, other interests and checklist contents. The public website companion does not perform these lookups.

The prepared limits are one search at most every six hours and one shown suggestion per day, with briefly held cards expiring after two minutes. Provider results and coordinates would not be cached or saved by the extension or discovery service. A future release would use short-lived global and salted daily IP-bucket usage counters, expiring after 24 hours, to limit API costs. Queries and coordinates would not be included in those counters.

Hosting and providers necessarily process network metadata, including IP addresses. Before automatic recommendations launch, this page will be updated with their final data practices. Provider content is subject to Google’s Privacy Policy or Ticketmaster’s privacy policy, as applicable. See our terms of use for listing limitations and provider terms.

Chrome Web Store Limited Use

Peekscape’s use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Information used for local interest suggestions is used only to provide Peekscape’s disclosed companion and interest features. We do not sell this information, use it for advertising or credit decisions, or provide it to people to read. Recognition data stays in your browser; optional search links share only the activity and area you choose with the destination service.

You stay in control

You can switch interest suggestions off, review or dismiss suggested topics, reset saved interests, and manage website access through the extension. Turning off suggestions keeps saved topics until you reset them. Revoking Chrome’s website access prevents the extension from placing Peek on those pages.

Location access and manual Adventures are separate choices. Automatic recommendations remain locked as Coming Soon.
