Sounds interesting, does it work well or a bit hit and miss. My pentax has focus peaking but to be honest it is a good aid but not as exact as I thought it would be.

It is certainly not a complete solution but a worthwhile aid.   When you go past the point of peak focus, the tip of the bar turns red.  The height of the red tip then signifies how far you've gone beyond the peak, so you back up a bit and try to achieve the highest bar possible with the smallest red tip.  It refreshes itself at intervals.  Some people find it confusing but to me it is usefull confirmation that what I think is proper focus really is close.
