Package Tracker follows your parcels and tells you only what the carrier actually confirmed. TRACK RIGHT AWAY • Paste the tracking number and see the journey. No account needed. • Want your history on other devices? Create a free account at any time — the parcels you already tracked come with you, without duplicates. HONEST TRACKING • Milestones light up only when an event from the carrier confirms them. No invented progress bars, no guessed times. • When there is no automatic source for a carrier yet, the app says so instead of making something up. • Returns, partial deliveries and international hand-overs are never shown as delivered. FREE FOR EVERYONE • No ads, no paid plans, no credits. YOUR DATA • We never ask what you bought, what it cost or how you paid. • Only you see your deliveries. Export your data or delete your account from inside the app. Package Tracker is made by Starthrop Dynamics, Unipessoal Lda.

Where’s my package? Paste a tracking number, a carrier link, or a whole shipping email, or scan the barcode on the label. Peek figures out which of 3,500+ carriers has the package and shows its journey on a map, every scan, and the day it should arrive. No account needed. No ads. WILL I KNOW WHEN IT MOVES? Sign in with Apple, Google, or a code sent to your email, and Peek notifies you: every scan, the important steps, or delivery only. An email can tell you it has arrived. FOLLOWING MORE THAN ONE? They share one list, the next to arrive on top, riding on its map. With an account, the same list is on your iPhone and on the web at peektracker.com. A widget keeps your next delivery on the Home Screen. SOMEONE ELSE WAITING FOR IT? Share the package’s page with a link. They need no app and no account. Wrap it as a gift, and what’s inside stays a surprise until it arrives. A PASSPORT OF DELIVERIES With an account, every delivery counts in your passport, and some earn a stamp. Compare passports with friends; your packages stay private. 3,500+ CARRIERS USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, Canada Post, Royal Mail, Evri, DPD, GLS, An Post, Australia Post, La Poste, Swiss Post, PostNL, Correos, Poste Italiane, InPost, China Post, Cainiao, YunExpress, and thousands more: national postal services, couriers, and marketplace shippers. ALSO IN THE BOX • A barcode scanner • Sharing a number or a tracking link from Mail, Messages, or Safari straight into Peek • Light and dark themes • English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Polish, Russian, and Simplified Chinese PRIVATE AND OPEN SOURCE Peek shows no ads and sells no data. It draws its own maps, so no map service sees where your packages travel. A package followed without an account is forgotten 30 days after it arrives. Download your data or delete your account from the app, whenever you like. Every line of code is on GitHub: github.com/plhery/peek-delivery-tracker Peek is independent of the carriers it reads. Their names belong to their owners.
