iPhone app browser tool for developers and curious users

Description

atPeek is a developer tool designed to explore and display resources found in iPhone applications. Its simple and intuitive interface allows to effortlessly examine normally unaccessible application details. atPeek can export individual assets or entire folders and its unique feature is its ability to decode both crushed iPhone PNG images and PVR textures back into standard PNGs.

atPeek takes advantage of Mac OS X QuickLook plugin framework to display fully functional previews of assets. Its flexible architecture allows developers to extend the core functionality by creating and installing custom QuickLook plugins.

atPeek is bundled with two custom QuickLook plugins that we have developed: PngUncrush and PvrUncrush, which can decode iPhone crushed PNG images and PVR textures. These plugins are also available as a separate free download at the bottom of this page.

Note: atPeek requires Mac OS X 10.6 (SnowLeopard)

Simply copy them to /Library/QuickLook folder and you will be able to preview iPhone crushed PNG images and PVR textures right from the Finder (or any other QuickLook enabled applications).
