Peekaboo Help

Can I search photos by what’s in them?

By · Updated

Short answer

Yes. Turn on Settings › Library › Search photos by what’s in them. Peekaboo then finds photos by what they show and the words in them. Photos are read on this Mac, in the background, and never leave it. Text in screenshots and PDFs is searchable the same way.

How do I contact support?

Email support@getpeekaboo.app. It goes straight to the developer. Settings › License › Copy Support Info adds your app and macOS version, with the license key hidden.
