## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.1 — 2026-08-11

This update includes general maintenance and quality-of-life improvements. Licensing and open source information has been added to Settings.

### 2.0 — 2026-07-28

Stream your Mac from anywhere.

• Stream From Anywhere — with Beam Unlimited, watch your Mac when you're away from home over your own Tailscale network. Your Mac shares its address automatically the first time you stream, so there's nothing to set up.
• Much Better Audio — audio now uses far less of your connection, so it stays clear on mobile data.
• Connection Quality At A Glance — a badge shows whether you have a fast direct connection or a slower relayed one.
• Smoother Reconnects — if your connection drops or you move between Wi-Fi and mobile data, Beam holds the stream and reconnects instead of starting over.
• Separate Quality Away From Home — your away-from-home quality is now remembered separately from your home setting.

### 1.5 — 2026-05-17

Beam now works on local networks without an internet connection. Connect your Mac and iPhone to the same router and stream anywhere, no internet required. Your purchase stays active offline.

### 1.4 — 2026-05-07

Teleprompter mode - Flip your Beam stream horizontally or vertically (or both!) in the Settings menu

### 1.3 — 2026-04-05

Streaming in Picture-in-Picture is now more stable. If the connection drops, Beam reconnects automatically so your stream keeps going.                                                                                                   Add the Beam widget to your lock screen and start streaming with a single tap. No need to unlock your phone.
