About FlowPeek
FlowPeek sits in the menu bar and turns a Mermaid code block into a drawn diagram. Option-click or a shortcut over a block in Terminal, VS Code or a documentation page renders it in place, and a badge appears when a diagram is on the clipboard. An optional AI helper can write a diagram from selected text if you add your own provider key. It is for developers who write Mermaid in docs, code or chat logs. AI context leaves the Mac only when you press Generate.
The app runs on macOS 14 or later on Apple silicon and Intel. Its only required permission is Accessibility, which it uses to read the text under the pointer. The README says each release DMG is built, signed and notarized by the project's release workflow, and that the bundled Mermaid and other third-party components are MIT licensed.
