Media Beam

About

Media Beam makes moving files and text between your devices fast, private, and hassle-free — without uploading anything to the cloud.

Send photos from your phone to your computer instantly. Share documents with your laptop. Copy text snippets between devices. No accounts, no sign-in, no third-party storage.

Everything transfers directly between your browsers using secure WebRTC peer-to-peer connections. Your files never touch a server and are never stored by Media Beam or anyone else.

Why install it?

• Get photos off your phone and onto your computer quickly without emailing yourself or using cloud drives.
• Avoid slow or intrusive services that require accounts, logins, or social profiles.
• Keep total control over your files — no cloud storage, no analytics, no tracking.
• Simple setup: click “Host”, scan the QR code or enter the code on another device, and send.
• Works across platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS* via browser).
• Efficient for screenshots, homework files, documents, PDFs, images, and text.

Core principles:

✔ Direct peer-to-peer transfer (no cloud upload)
✔ No accounts or authentication
✔ No tracking, analytics, or telemetry
✔ End-to-end DTLS encryption (WebRTC standard)
✔ No file size compression (you keep full quality)

Use cases:

• Move pictures from phone → laptop without iCloud, Google Photos, or USB cables.
• Share files between personal and school/work devices without signing in.
• Copy text snippets and links between browsers.
• Exchange files privately on public Wi-Fi without exposing data to cloud services.

Media Beam is built for users who value speed, privacy, and simplicity.

Note: On very restrictive networks, direct P2P may be blocked — in that case the app will offer guidance and connection alternatives. Relayed transfers are supported but slower and size-limited.

Media Beam is privacy-first by design. We do not collect, store, or transmit personal data.
