Built for the remote. Designed for the big screen.
Beam is not another streaming service.
It is the missing interface between the media you own and the biggest screen in your home.
How it works
From your files to your TV
without a detour through the cloud.
Bring your media
Plug in a USB drive, or choose folders on your Mac using Beam Companion Server.
Stay on your network
Beam discovers compatible servers over your trusted local network. Your library stays yours.
Press play
Browse with the TV remote, open a title, load its subtitles, and resume where you stopped.
Built for real libraries
The essentials,
properly done.
Beam focuses on the things a local player should do well: find your media, stay out of the way, and remember where you left off.

Picture-in-picture overlay
Keep video playing in a clean HTML overlay while you browse the rest of Beam.
Local by design
Your watch history should not be a business model.
Beam has no accounts, analytics, ads, or developer-operated cloud. Server addresses and playback progress remain in local app storage on your TV.

Inspect it. Improve it. Make it yours.
