Notes on Beam, working across several Macs, and what we are building.
-
Run a headless Mac mini and see its windows
Beam shares one window at a time, or a whole display when you pick one. Then make sleep and reboot reliable.

Test macOS app layouts just before and after they change, then use Beam to resize the window into shapes the other Mac can fit more easily.
-

Minimize, hide, close, and Spaces affect Mac windows differently. See what each action means while you work with a beamed window.
