Understand this story
Beam is a new Mac app that lets you pull an individual window from another Mac onto your own desktop and use it like a local app. Its goal is to make it easy to access a Mac Mini that sits in a corner running an AI agent around the clock. The app was developed by Hiten Shah and Sam Asante under the company name Noats, and launched on Product Hunt on Tuesday. Both Macs must be Apple Silicon, run macOS Sonoma or later, and have Beam installed; they can discover each other over the same Wi-Fi or via Tailscale. Hosting a Mac and joining via a share link are free; using your own Mac is free for 20 minutes per day, after which it costs $12 per month, $84 per year, or a $199 lifetime license.
