## Description

Beam photos, files, and folders straight to a nearby device. No internet, no account, no QR codes. True peer-to-peer over Wi-Fi Aware — your files never touch a server.

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

— WHAT'S INCLUDED & PRO —

NearBeam sends photos and files out of the box, with a limit on per-transfer size and the number of transfers per day. Pro unlocks unlimited transfer size, whole-folder transfer, transfer history, and multi-device transfers. Pro is available as an annual subscription with a one-week trial, or a one-time lifetime purchase.

— BUILT FOR APPLE —

Requires iOS 26.0 or later. Built natively with Wi-Fi Aware and the Network framework. The Wi-Fi Aware capability is used purely for direct, local device-to-device transfer.
