NearBeam

NearBeam is the fastest way to move photos and files between two devices that are right next to each other. Pick what you want to send, tap a nearby device, and beam it over — directly, privately, with nothing in between.

No internet. No account. No QR codes. No web page to open on the other device. NearBeam connects your devices directly over Wi-Fi Aware, so your files travel on the local radio between the two devices and never touch a server.

WHY NEARBEAM

• TRUE PEER-TO-PEER
  NearBeam talks device-to-device over Wi-Fi Aware. There's no handshake page, no scanning a QR code, no typing an IP address. Pick the nearby device and send.

• WORKS COMPLETELY OFFLINE
  On a plane, in the mountains, on a train through a tunnel — if both devices are nearby, NearBeam works. No Wi-Fi network and no cellular needed.

• YOUR FILES STAY YOURS
  Files go straight from one device to the other. Nothing is uploaded, stored, or copied to any server. No account, no tracking, no telemetry.

• PHOTOS, FILES, AND FOLDERS
  Send single photos, big batches, documents, or whole folders (Pro). Received photos save to your library; files save to Files.

• FAST, BECAUSE IT'S DIRECT
  There's no round-trip through the cloud. The bytes go from one device to the next over the local radio — the shortest possible path.

WHO IS NEARBEAM FOR

• Anyone who needs to move photos between two phones without a network
• People who travel and can't rely on Wi-Fi or signal
• Folks who don't want their files passing through a cloud drive
• Anyone tired of opening a web page and scanning a QR code just to send a file
