PeekSmith App

The PeekSmith app is the official, free companion app for PeekSmith 3, Bond, MrCard, Teleport, SB Watch 2, and other Electricks devices. It collects information from multiple sources — other apps, devices, web services — and displays it on your Electricks device.

Originally developed by Benke Smith, the PeekSmith app is now maintained and supported by Electricks.

What the PeekSmith App Does

Device control — Configure settings for PeekSmith 3, Bond, MrCard, Teleport, and more.

Connect to compatible apps — Access information from third-party apps like Inject 2, WikiTest, and Cognito via Web Polling.

Display notifications — Show phone notifications on your PeekSmith 3 (Android only).

Installing the PeekSmith App

The app is free for Electricks hardware owners (some add-ons may be purchased separately).

iOS — Download from the App Store:

Android — Download the APK file through your phone’s browser.

An APK is an Android app package file. Since the PeekSmith app isn’t available in the Google Play Store, you download the APK file directly and install it on your Android device. Your phone will guide you through the installation process.

Getting Started

After installing the PeekSmith app:

1. Log in — Open the app and log in with your Electricks account.

2. Check for updates — If an in-app update is available, install it to get the latest features and fixes.

Connection Troubleshooting

If your PeekSmith 3 isn’t listed:

• Enable Bluetooth — Make sure Bluetooth is ON on your phone.

• Grant permissions — Allow the app to use Bluetooth and Location Services.

• Enable GPS (Android only) — Android requires GPS to be ON for Bluetooth communication.

• Disconnect other devices — Phones have connection limits (10-16 devices). If you have many devices connected (watch, earphones, etc.), disconnect some.

• Don’t pair manually — Don’t connect to PeekSmith from your phone’s Bluetooth Settings. The app manages the connection.

• Restart phone (Android) — Android Bluetooth can have bugs. Try restarting your phone.
