What Peak can do

One input,
many outcomes.

The same input that searches the web can start a note, spin up a task board, open a whiteboard, or ask an AI. Browsing flows straight into doing — all native, all in one workspace.

SEARCH

Quick lookups, kept warm

Fast WebKit browsing with a dozen search engines one keystroke away. Sessions, bookmarks, and history save automatically so a quick search never costs you your flow.

CAPTURE

Block notes & boards

Structured block notes, Kanban task boards, and infinite whiteboards live right next to your tabs — turn a research session into a shipped project.

OPTIONAL

Optional AI, your key

Opt-in AI through direct provider keys, OpenRouter, or local Ollama — Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, Kimi, Grok, and more. Keys live in Apple Keychain.

PRIVACY

Private by design

Local-first by default. No Peak account, no built-in analytics, and no Peak server holding your workspace. Network features connect only to the services and peers you choose.

NEARBY

Peak Mesh

Nearby devices discover each other directly — no accounts, no cloud relay. Local chat, shared tabs, synced workspaces, and multiplayer lobbies over Apple's Network framework.

NATIVE

Native, through and through

Not a web wrapper. Real SwiftUI on top of WebKit, with Core Data and CloudKit underneath — at home on macOS, iPadOS, and iOS.

One continuous climb · no cuts

This is what
Peak can do.

Scroll — the camera ascends as the story unfolds.

On the forest floor

Quick lookups, kept warm

A dozen search engines one keystroke away. Sessions, bookmarks, and history save automatically — the undergrowth of the web, mapped as you move.

Breaking the treeline

Capture into doing

One input becomes a block note, a Kanban board, a whiteboard sketch, or an AI chat. Browsing flows straight into work — no app-switching.

Along the ridge

AI, when you want it

Optional AI through direct providers, OpenRouter, or local Ollama — your keys, stored in Apple Keychain. Never the center, always available.

The summit

One calm command surface.

Lookups, notes, boards, whiteboards, and optional AI — local-first, private, and ready the moment you press the shortcut.

Our thesis

A workspace that
meets you where you are.

The best tools disappear into the work. Peak is built on a simple conviction: a browser that shares your context — your tabs, your notes, your history — is worth a thousand apps that start from zero.

01
Context over switchingYou shouldn't have to re-explain your project to a blank box. Peak keeps your tabs, notes, and boards connected and one shortcut away.
02
Local-first, private by defaultNo accounts, no built-in analytics. Your data stays on your device, syncs through your own iCloud, and your AI keys live in Apple Keychain.
03
Optional, never forcedAI is opt-in. Use it when it helps, ignore it when you want Peak to remain a quiet browser workspace. It's a tool, not the centerpiece.
"The summit isn't the point. The point is a calm command surface that climbs beside you — and hands you the right tool at exactly the right moment."
Vegar Berentsen — Founder, Peak Browser
Optional AI

Bring your own intelligence.

Peak ships no AI of its own — and that's the point. Connect the providers you already trust, or run models entirely on your machine. Your keys stay in Apple Keychain; your choice stays yours.

The product

Peak Browser for Apple platforms

A native workspace where the browser is the engine — notes, boards, whiteboards, and optional AI all built in, not bolted on.

Peak with a site open: the file tree on the left, global.css in the editor, and the finished cinema page rendering live in the preview beside it
Unified workspace

Everything you make,
in one place.

Tabs, notes, task boards, whiteboards, and an activity timeline share one brain. Capture any page as a note, turn a conversation into a task, sketch an idea on a whiteboard — Peak keeps it all connected.

  • Block-native notes with tables, tasks, and callouts
  • Kanban boards and infinite whiteboards with live connectors
  • Semantic search across everything you've saved or read

Principles at altitude

/ 01

Calm by default

Peak appears when you call it and gets out of your way. One quiet command surface for search, capture, and work — no clutter, no noise.

Local first, private by default

No accounts, no built-in analytics. Your data lives on your device, syncs through your own iCloud, and your AI keys stay in Apple Keychain.

/ 03

Optional, never forced

Every feature — including AI — is opt-in. Use what helps, ignore the rest. Peak is a tool you control, not a service that watches you.

/ 04

Native, through and through

Real SwiftUI on WebKit, not a web wrapper. Built for macOS, iPadOS, and iOS with the polish and speed only native apps deliver.

Questions

The things people ask first.

What is Peak Browser?

Peak is a native Apple browser workspace for macOS and iOS. It combines web browsing with notes, kanban boards, whiteboards and saved sessions, and adds optional AI through providers you choose. It is summoned with a global hotkey rather than launched, and is written in SwiftUI rather than wrapped around a web view.

What platforms does Peak Browser run on?

macOS and iOS/iPadOS. There is no Windows, Android, or web version.

How much does Peak Browser cost?

Peak is free on the App Store. If you use the optional AI features with your own provider key, that provider bills you directly; Peak takes no part in it.

Does Peak Browser track me or collect analytics?

No. Peak does not run a built-in analytics pipeline, advertising tracker, or user-account service, and does not sell data. Most data stays on the device, with optional sync through your own private iCloud account.

Do I need an AI subscription to use Peak?

No. The AI is optional and bring-your-own-key. Peak ships no keys and hosts no model, so nothing is sent to a provider unless you have configured one.

Can Peak run AI models locally?

Yes. Local models run through Ollama on your own machine, entirely offline. Ollama Cloud is a separate hosted option and is not the local one.

What is Peak Mesh?

Peak Mesh connects nearby devices over the local network to share tabs, files and Site Builder projects. It uses no cloud relay, and advertises nothing until a shared room passphrase is set.
