What is really in your kid's messages? Peak tells you, without sending a single byte to the cloud. Point it at an iPhone backup you already have and it scans iMessage and SMS for bullying, predators, self-harm, and drugs across nine categories. It even reads text hidden inside photos and screenshots. All on your Mac. No account, no subscription, nothing installed on the phone. One-time purchase. Your kid's privacy stays yours.
Hey PH! Nyco here, maker of Peak.
I'm a parent of multiple teenagers and got frustrated that every parental control tool either required installing something on my kid's phone or shipped their data to a cloud server. As a cybersecurity professional I wanted a secure and local solution, so I built one.
Peak works differently. It reads the iPhone backup already sitting on your Mac and generates a full PDF report of iMessages, attachments, and flagged content. Nothing is installed on the kid's device. Nothing leaves your machine.
Built for Mac, one-time price, no account needed.
Happy to answer any questions about how it works, how it handles privacy, or anything else. Would love your feedback!
