Everything, in one tab. Now in your language. Peak is a browser with the rest of your work already inside it: notes, task boards, whiteboards, a calendar, time tracking and invoices, mail, PDFs, photos, vector drawing, video, music, slides, websites, your finances, games and more than twenty tools. On Mac, iPhone, iPhone Duo and iPad, in English, Norwegian, German, French, Spanish, Japanese and Brazilian Portuguese. WATCHES Peak keeps an eye on the web for you: a search, a listing, a feed, a page or an app's reviews. What is new lands in one feed, judged by what you are looking for rather than by matching words. WORK TOGETHER Share a task board, whiteboard, note, calendar, project, drawing or deck with anyone who has an Apple ID. Everyone sees every change and can make their own, and Peak shows who changed what. It goes through iCloud, end-to-end encrypted, and over Mesh between devices nearby. No Peak server, no account. YOUR CALENDAR, ALL OF IT Personal, calendars you keep with others, your Social Studio posts, invoices falling due and the hours you worked, beside Apple Calendar, each shown or hidden from one menu, with a reminder before each event. PEAK HOURS Track time against clients and projects with a timer that follows you between devices, for one organization or several. Timesheets, absence, budgets, reports and a year of income beside its costs. Make clean PDF invoices and email them. Teams hand in weeks and approve time off together. PEAK AI, ON YOUR TERMS Use AI if you want to: on your device, with your own key from the provider you choose, or not at all, with one switch to keep requests in the EU. Peak AI sees the tab in front, works across your notes, boards and calendar, and asks before it changes anything. Talk to it out loud in Basecamp, from Telegram, or let Claude and other AI apps use Peak as an MCP server. Your own bots remember, wake up on schedule and work at one table. MAKE THINGS Contour for vector drawing, Darkroom for photos, Folio for PDFs, a full video editor, slides, websites, music in Waveform, and Social Studio for writing and planning posts for several brands, with pictures and video. PLAY Summit Cup, rocket-powered car soccer, and Ridgefront, a war of bases and armies with a campaign of seven missions, skirmishes for up to four sides and a twenty-minute last stand — against the computer, or with people nearby over Mesh. MADE BY AI, AND SAYS SO Everything Peak generates carries an invisible watermark and signed Content Credentials, so anyone can tell it was made by AI. AI Check, in Tools, reads a picture, recording, video or text and tells you whether it was. Peak does not make sexual images or nudity, and anything it makes can be reported. NOTES THAT THINK Markdown notes that run Python on your device, with charts, maths and diagrams. Recents and History find anything again. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No tracking. No analytics. Your work stays on your devices and syncs only through your own iCloud.

Marko is a fast, native Markdown reader for iPhone and iPad. Open any .md file and read it the way it was meant to look, with real typography, syntax-highlighted code, GFM tables and task lists, Mermaid diagrams, and KaTeX math. Everything renders on your device with no network access, so your documents never leave it. Marko is a reader, not an editor. It never changes your files. Open Markdown straight from the Files app, or share it in from Mail, Safari, or any other app, and read it full-screen with an outline, find in page, and adjustable text size. It is built for the Markdown you didn't write by hand, too: the .md that AI assistants and coding agents produce, generated READMEs, and agent output. LISTEN TO ANY DOCUMENT Read Aloud speaks the rendered document and highlights each sentence as it goes, so you can follow along or put the phone down. Start anywhere with Read from Here, adjust the speaking rate, and control it from the Lock Screen. Ask Siri to read a document and it starts hands-free. DOCUMENT INTELLIGENCE, ON DEVICE Summarize a long document, ask questions about it, or explain a selected passage. Marko can explain a Mermaid diagram too, reading the diagram itself. All processed on your device with Apple Intelligence. Nothing is sent to a server. (Requires iOS 26 or later on a device with Apple Intelligence. Explaining diagrams requires iOS 27.) TRANSLATE WITHOUT LEAVING THE PAGE Translate a document into another language in place, then switch back to the original. On device, offline, once the language is downloaded. (Requires iOS 26.4 or later.) PICK UP WHERE YOU STOPPED Marko remembers where you were in every document. For documents in iCloud Drive, that position follows you to your other devices, and Handoff moves the document itself between iPhone, iPad, and Mac. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN A Continue Reading widget shows the page you left off on and takes you straight back to it. A Recent Documents widget lists what you have been reading. Spotlight and Shortcuts can find your documents by name. HIGHLIGHTS - Native Swift and SwiftUI app for iPhone and iPad. Not a web app. - Renders fully offline. Your documents never leave your device. - Opens Markdown in place from Files, and via the share sheet from other apps. - Read Aloud with follow-along highlighting and a speaking-rate control. - On-device summarize, ask, and explain, including diagrams. - Outline, find in page, and text zoom. - Light, Dark, and System themes. - The same app on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Marko collects no data. It has no analytics, no accounts, and makes no network requests of its own. Free. Requires iOS or iPadOS 18 or later.
