Beam
Share windows between your Macs with native feel and Retina sharpness
Beam puts a window from one Mac onto another, delivering native feel and Retina-sharp display with direct connection over your own network.
Overview
Beam allows you to display windows from one Mac on another Mac. A window from your other Mac appears as a real window on your screen, in your Command-Tab switcher with its own Dock icon, rather than as a video feed of the whole desktop. You can drag corners to resize the window, use it with full interactivity, and even drag files between Macs or toggle audio from the beamed app. Beam works over your local Wi-Fi network and can extend to remote Macs using Tailscale. You can also share windows with people who don't have Beam by sending them a browser link. All data stays encrypted and travels directly between your Macs, never through company servers.

Frequently looked up
- Q1How is Beam different from screen sharing?
- Screen sharing delivers a picture of a whole desktop, while Beam provides the actual window itself on your desktop with its own Dock icon and Command-Tab entry, as if the app walked across the room.
- Q2What do I need to use Beam?
- You need two Macs running macOS Sonoma or later with Beam installed on both. They can connect over the same Wi-Fi network, or remotely with Tailscale.
- Q3Is Beam private and secure?
- Yes. Windows, keys, clipboard, and sound travel encrypted directly between your Macs and never through Beam's servers. The company's account knows only which Macs and plans you have, not what is on them.
- Q4Can I share windows with someone who doesn't have Beam?
- Yes. You can send a browser link that opens a single window in any browser on any device. Guests can view it, and you can optionally allow them control. Links last from an hour to a week.
- Q5How much does Beam cost?
- Free plan offers 20 minutes daily at no cost. Subscription is $12 per month or $84 per year. Lifetime is $199 one-time. Teams cost $12 per person per month or $84 per year with 20% off per seat from 10 people.
