Beam is a powerful, desktop-class browser built specifically for iPad that brings sidebar-first browsing, spaces, pinned tabs and favourites, a fast command bar, full keyboard shortcuts, and fluid tab management optimized for iPadOS. It includes built-in ad blocking, multiple search engines, and deep customization designed for power users who use their iPad as a real computer.

Key features include vertical tabs that allow viewing 20+ tabs at once with readable titles, perfect for research and deep work. Spaces keep contexts separate with dedicated tabs, history, and cookies for work, personal, and research use cases. The command bar enables instant search across tabs, history, and actions with keyboard shortcuts. Beam offers full keyboard shortcuts for power users combined with fluid gestures for touch interaction.

Beam is built from scratch for iPadOS with touch-first design featuring fluid gestures, smooth animations, and instant response. It provides optimized performance with fast launches, efficient memory use, and 60fps scrolling specifically tailored for iPad hardware. The browser includes three-tier ad blocking that stops trackers and ads across all sites for faster loading and more focus.

Benefits include distraction-free browsing, organized tab management across multiple spaces, and keyboard-speed navigation matching desktop workflows. Use cases include research with 20+ tabs organized across spaces, writing with context switching, and professional work requiring separate client contexts and desktop-like tab management.

Target users are iPad power users including researchers, writers, students, developers, designers, and professionals who live in the browser. Beam is developed independently without venture capital, funded by user purchases, with local-only data storage and no tracking of browsing history or personal information.
