Most iPad browsers treat it like a big iPhone. Beam treats it like the computer it is: sidebar navigation, spaces, 65+ shortcuts, command bar. Desktop power, iPad-native.

Built for researchers managing 50+ tabs, writers juggling multiple projects, developers who live in their browser, and anyone frustrated that Safari doesn't respect their iPad as a real computer.

Loved by 250+ beta testers:
“It's the real Arc for iPad” – “Most potential in a mobile browser I have ever seen” – “The final step to turning iPad into a true computer”

Sidebar-first design
Instead of endless tab rows, Beam organizes everything into a persistent sidebar. Pinned tabs stay at the top. Today's tabs live in the middle. Projects and research go into spaces – nested as deep as you need. Rename tabs, drag to reorder, collapse the sidebar when you want focus. Everything has its place.

Built for speed
Hit Cmd+T to instantly switch between dozens of tabs, jump to any site, or trigger actions – all without lifting your hands from the keyboard. 65+ keyboard shortcuts keep you in flow. Double-tap to close tabs. Swipe gestures that actually make sense. Whether you're using a Magic Keyboard or just touch, Beam keeps you moving.

Calmer web
Built-in ad blocking removes distractions by default. Multiple blocking levels let you choose how aggressive you want to be. The web feels quieter.

Actually designed for iPad
Beam follows modern iPadOS design – floating sidebar, smooth animations, layouts that work naturally with multitasking. Nothing is ported from Mac or scaled up from iPhone. It's built specifically for iPad, down to the last detail.

Made by one person, thoughtfully
Beam is indie software. No clutter, no subscriptions, no noise. Just a browser that treats your iPad like the real computer it is.
