Why link previews save you clicks

A search results page is a wall of blue links and two-line snippets. You can guess what a page is from its title, but you don’t actually know until you click. Is that GitHub repo maintained or abandoned? Is that YouTube video the tutorial you need, or twelve minutes of sponsor reads first? Every click is a small bet, and most of them don’t pay off.

Peekly turns each result into a real preview instead of a guess. Under a GitHub link, you see the star count and last-updated date right there. Under a YouTube link, the video plays inline without opening a tab. Under an article, you get a genuine summary of what it actually says, not the two-line snippet the search engine picked, but the real content.

It works everywhere, not just search results

Press and hold any link on any page: a Reddit thread, a Slack message, a newsletter, and the same live preview opens. You’re not limited to Google; the same instant judgment call works on whatever page you’re already reading.

Nothing leaves your browser

The preview is fetched by the extension directly from the page you’re looking at, the same way opening it in a new tab would. There’s no Peekly server in the middle reading your searches or logging which links you preview. It genuinely can’t, because it’s never involved.
