About
Files carry more than you see. A document someone sent you can hold the author's name and company, who edited it last and when, every comment, tracked changes, hidden sheets and slides, and presenter notes. A photo can hold exactly where it was taken and which camera took it. BarePeek shows you all of it.
SORTED BY WHAT MATTERS
- Worth a look comes first: comments, tracked changes, hidden text, hidden sheets, rows and slides, presenter notes, attached files, scripts, and photo locations
- Who and when comes next: author, last editor, company, dates and the program that made the file
- Technical details stay folded away until you want them
- The real values, not just a warning, and a plain sentence on what each one means
CATCHES THE TRAPS
- Tells you when text in a PDF is only covered by a black box and is still in the file. BarePeek never shows you that text.
- Finds earlier saved versions kept inside a PDF, attached files and embedded preview pictures
WHAT IT CHECKS
- PDF
- Word, Excel and PowerPoint files
- Keynote presentations: comments, presenter notes and hidden slides
- Pages and Numbers files: the package details (their comments are not checked)
- Photos (JPEG, HEIC and PNG): where it was taken, the date, the camera and its serial number
READ ONLY AND PRIVATE
- It only looks. It never changes, cleans or deletes your file.
- Everything happens on your iPhone or Mac
- No account, no uploads, no tracking, no ads
EASY TO USE
