Notes on Beam, working across several Macs, and what we are building.
-
Frame rate or sharpness: Beam chooses for you
Beam automatically keeps text sharp while a window is still and motion smooth when video, animation, or scrolling starts.
-
When a shared Mac window disappears
Minimize, hide, close, and Spaces affect Mac windows differently. See what each action means while you work with a beamed window.
-
Your windows go straight between your Macs
Your Macs talk to each other directly on your own network, or over your tailnet when they are apart. Your account knows your Macs and your plan, never what is on them. This is what leaves a Mac when you use Beam, and what does not.
-
A window, not a screen
Screen sharing gives you a picture of a desktop. Beam gives you the window itself, on your desktop, at its own size, in your ⌘ Tab. Here is why that distinction is the whole product.
