About Peekaboo

Peekaboo is a macOS CLI and menu-bar app for screen capture, accessibility inspection and native UI automation. You can use it directly, let its own agent plan multi-step work, or expose the same toolset to MCP clients such as Codex, Claude Code and Cursor; optional visual question answering uses local or remote models.

Peekaboo is an open-source project written primarily in Swift, with 5.2k stars on GitHub. It was last updated in September 2026.
