Peek
—
Take 3 monitors with you wherever you go.
Peek uses your laptop (or desktop) webcam to track your head, letting you move naturally between displays, just like you would with 3 real desktop monitors!
Just look, and the view is there!
Organise your windows however you like, and Peek will remember that for you.

Why use Peek?
Just like looking at a monitor!
Even with 3 real monitors, you can only look at one of them!
Watch how Peek can help when you're on the move.
Main Features
Just imagine...
You are working on that report or code and you simply nudge your head to check some references, then nudge the other way to switch up that Spotify playlist, then back to work in a second!
-
Ready when Windows is
Runs when Windows starts. You can have it paused until you need it.
-
Pause brings windows home
A single click pauses and brings all the windows back to the main view, if that's what you want.
-
Send windows with a chord
Simply hold Ctrl/Alt and then use the arrow keys to send the current window to one of the screens. So easy to control!
-
Dial in your glance
Configure how much you want to move your head to switch displays.
Private by design
The camera feed never leaves your PC.
Peek is a local process. Frames are read, measured and discarded in memory. There is no account to create, no telemetry pipeline, and no server for your video to be uploaded to — because there is no server at all.
Processed on-device
Face detection and yaw estimation run in the Peek process on your own CPU. Frames are never written to disk.
Nothing recorded
No video, no stills, no landmark logs. Close Peek and nothing about your session persists.
No account, no cloud
No sign-in, no licence server, no analytics SDK. Peek works identically with your network cable unplugged.

Telemetry
