A floating, keyboard-triggered asset preview for the Unity Project window. Select anything, press Tab, and get an instant, type-aware preview — without breaking your flow.
Peek walkthrough — watch on YouTube
Peek lives in the Project window. Tap a key on whatever is selected and a polished preview pops open — tuned to that asset's type, with the controls that actually fit it. No double-clicks, no inspector hunting.
Instant preview
Select any asset in the Project window and tap a single key. Peek opens centered on the editor, with a preview already tuned to what you picked — a model, a texture, a clip, a script.
Pin it to keep it open while you browse, or let it follow your selection. The same key closes it again.
Textures get pixel-perfect zoom, pan and R/G/B/A channel isolation. Models get an interactive turntable with vert, tri and bone counts plus a full hierarchy tree. Animations scrub and play; audio shows a waveform; code is syntax-highlighted.
Peek detects the type the moment it loads and switches rendering automatically — eleven asset categories, each with its own controls.
Type-aware rendering
References & QA
The Refs panel shows the dependency graph both ways — what an asset uses, and every asset that uses it — with click-to-ping and click-to-select straight into the Project window.
The QA panel runs lint-style import checks per type: read/write flags, NPOT scaling, missing materials, uncompressed textures, mono audio and more — each flagged by severity.
Peek doesn't just show a thumbnail. Each asset type gets a real, interactive preview with the controls and read-outs that matter for it.
Pixel-perfect zoom and pan, per-channel R/G/B/A isolation, and a live format, dimension and VRAM read-out.
Interactive turntable with orbit, pan and zoom, vert / tri / bone counts, and the full GameObject hierarchy tree.
Wireframe, normals, tangents and UV-checker overlays, with five saveable camera presets for repeat angles.
Play, scrub and set speed on clips and rigged models, with a root-motion toggle for in-place review.
Waveform view with play and stop, straight from the Project window — no need to drag clips into a scene.
Inline VideoClip playback rendered into the window, with a play / pause control bar and a scrubber.
Syntax-highlighted C#, shaders and JSON in a fast virtualized viewer that handles big files smoothly.
A clean serialized property tree for your data assets, so you can read their contents at a glance.
Multi-size font specimens, plus live material previews with a full property sidebar and shader info.
A bidirectional dependency graph — what uses this, and what this uses — with click-to-ping and select.
Lint-style import checks per asset type, flagged by severity, so you catch build-size and runtime risks early.
Two-up compare with a per-pixel texture diff, plus one-click screenshots and transparent-PNG export.
