Peep the chick mascot

Everyone's vibe coding.
The IDE is going away.

Non-coders are building entire projects with AI. They don't want VS Code. But Finder? Finder is incredibly inadequate. The world needs something new.

Say hi to OpenPeep.

File browsing, totally and completely reimagined for the AI era.

AI builds you 30 files. Finder shows you 30 names.

VS Code and Cursor? Even coders are leaving. You never wanted them.

Configs, assets, data, docs — you need to actually see what’s inside.

Finder wasn’t built for this. OpenPeep was.

Every file type deserves its own app.

Peeps are mini-apps that live inside your file browser. They don't just preview files — they understand them.

Edit

Not plugins. Workflow apps.

A Peep can view, edit, generate, validate, and manage entire project folders. No IDE required.

Poll Studio

A JSON config becomes a visual editor.

  • Content matching recognizes {"type": "poll"} — not just the file extension
  • Visual editor with live preview replaces raw JSON editing
  • Click "Generate" → server-side tool creates 1080×1080 images
  • Verify checks option count, caption length, image dimensions before export
  • One config file. One Peep. An entire creative workflow.

Episode Planner

A folder becomes a production dashboard.

  • Bundle matching claims folders with episode.json + scripts/ + assets/
  • See your script, assets, and exports in one unified view
  • No more digging through nested folders to find what you need
  • The folder IS the app. The Peep IS the workflow.

Your Custom DSL

Any JSON schema. Your own mini-app.

  • Define a custom JSON format for your team’s workflow
  • Build a Peep that renders it as a purpose-built UI
  • Content matching inspects JSON fields to auto-detect your format
  • Ship it on PeepHub. Now everyone on your team has the same tool.
  • This is what "extensible" actually means.

PeepHub: An app store for your files.

Every Peep on PeepHub is a new superpower. Install one, and your file browser learns a new trick.

Build a Peep in an afternoon.

HTML, CSS, and a JSON manifest. Or just ask your AI to vibe one out. Five capabilities. Infinite workflows.

Every Peep ships with AI skills — instructions your coding tool already knows how to follow. Describe what you want, and Claude, ChatGPT, or Copilot builds the Peep for you.
