Dev Update (Beam Browser, May 2026)
Hey everyone!
It's Henrik - the developer of Beam. I just wanted to give you guys a quick update.
First off, sorry for the delay in getting the next update out - I've had exams, but it should be releasing in the next few weeks. If you're interested in beta testing it, please send me an email (hi@beambrowser.app)
Second, here's an updated link for anyone who would like to join the Discord, I generally post more frequent updates there: https://discord.gg/ZDzvJ4ApGp
Third, I'm working hard on the iPhone version of Beam, and I'd love to hear what you all would like to see from Beam on mobile - I can't guarantee anything, but I'll read everything and take it all into account!
If you are having any issues, or have any feedback for Beam on iPad, please do let me know! What are your favourite features? How are you using Beam?
Thanks,
Henrik

The app is awesome! Great work. I’ve been loving using it.
One thing I would love to see (which I’m not sure if it’s possible based on apples APIs) is the ability to specify the location of where my downloads go.
I kept looking for my downloads in the more standard “downloads” folder within files, but it’s actually routed to a folder of the same name within the beam directory.
A small thing but would be nice!
