ZenBeam 3.0 with BeamWeb
Your devices. Your network.

Requires macOS 14 or later. This download supports Apple silicon and Intel Macs.
ZenBeam for macOS is fully functional and free.

OPEN
Extract the ZIP. Move ZenBeam.app to Applications or a folder of your choice.
Quit any other ZenBeam copy before opening it.
This app is locally signed and is not Apple-notarized. If macOS blocks the first launch, review its notice in System Settings > Privacy & Security and open it only if you trust its source.
Allow Local Network access. If Keychain asks for access, Always Allow remembers approval for this build; Allow is temporary. Existing users may see an identity-access prompt after updating.

CREATE OR JOIN
Choose Create BeamWeb to generate a five-character key, or Join BeamWeb to enter a key shared with you. Keys use five letters or digits; lowercase is accepted. Membership remains saved after quitting or restarting. You can join when everyone else is offline.
All devices must use ZenBeam 3.0, the same BeamWeb key, and the same local LAN, Wi-Fi or hotspot. ZenBeam 2.0 devices do not appear. The key groups nearby devices; it is not a strong password. The creator is not a server, and other members continue when the creator leaves.

MANAGE YOUR BEAMWEB
The current key appears at the top. Use Copy key to share it.
Manage BeamWeb lets you join another, create a new one, or reset this Mac's saved membership. Cancel leaves membership unchanged. Switching waits for transfers and current network operations to finish. It closes the old conversations and Drive view and stops this Mac's folder shares. Publish folders again in the new BeamWeb. Files, local history, display name and profile picture are kept. Other devices' membership is unchanged.

MESSAGES AND FILES
Set your name, profile picture and receive folder in Settings. Members appear automatically; use Refresh or Find by IPv4 address if needed. Manual IP still requires matching membership.
Select a person to chat. Attach files or drag files from Finder into a chat, onto a person, or onto a group. Select several people to send independently to them. A group needs at least three devices including yours.
Transfers shows progress and verified completion. Recently Received and Receive Folder help you find received files. Clear removes local history/list entries only; files stay on disk and active transfers continue.

DRIVE
Select one member and open Drive to browse their shared folders. Download files or folders; folders arrive as ZIP archives. Writable shares allow uploads.
To publish a Mac folder, open Settings > Published Mac folders > Add Folder. Enable Allow uploads to new share before adding it for Read and Write access; otherwise it is Read Only. Shared folders remain saved within your current BeamWeb until removed or membership changes.

BACKGROUND OPERATION
Closing the window keeps ZenBeam available in the menu bar. Quit stops receiving and sharing. Keep the Mac awake and ZenBeam running while other members access its folders. Messages and files travel directly between devices; there is no cloud service.
