Nemi Beam

An app in Nemi

Phone to laptop, without the cloud in between. Scan a code. Nothing to install on either end.

Getting a photo off a phone should take twenty seconds, and somehow it always needs a cable or an email to yourself. With Beam you scan a code and the two devices connect directly. Nothing to install on either.

Nemi Beam, a real screenshot. The content is demo data.

Send a file from phone to laptop by scanning a code. Any device. Each of these is true of the product today.

Directly between the devices

The transfer is peer to peer. Where a network refuses that, a relay forwards traffic it cannot read and keeps none of it.

Any two devices

Android to Mac, Windows to iPhone, a borrowed laptop to yours. It is a browser on both ends.

Inside Beam. The parts you will use every day.

Nemi introduces the two devices and steps out

Scanning the code is how the two browsers find each other. That is all we carry: once they have, the files go straight from one device to the other. Where a network refuses a direct connection, a relay forwards the traffic instead, and because the connection is encrypted end to end the relay passes on bytes it cannot read and keeps none of them.

Nothing is called done until it has been checked

Every file is checked on both devices as it goes across, and the sender does not report a transfer finished until the receiving end has confirmed that each file arrived whole. A file that cannot be confirmed is reported as exactly that, rather than quietly counted as delivered.

It carries text as well as files

A link, a verification code, a paragraph typed on the wrong machine: send it and it is on the other screen, with a copy button waiting. It goes over the same connection as the files, before, during or after a transfer, and it is never stored anywhere.

What you can stop doing. Beam comes with the same account as everything else, so it is never one more sign up.
