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!
The "nothing leaves your Mac" line is the whole product for me. I spent years in security and risk, and most parenting-safety tools quietly turn into surveillance pipes the second data hits a server. Local-only is the only version I'd trust with my own two kids. How do you handle the harder human side... a teen who feels watched even when nothing ever leaves the machine?
