## What is Otter Beam?

Otter Beam connects the AI agents, files and apps on your computers while you are on the go.

AI agents
• Find, resume or start coding-agent chats and terminals on your computers
• View each agent chat as a friendly chat or as the plain terminal
• Supported harnesses: Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build, Pi, Oh My Pi (OMP), and Antigravity (agy). Available controls depend on the harness.
• Compatible configurations include Z.ai through Claude Code and DeepSeek through Codex.
• High-accuracy voice transcription and input
• Get notified when a chat needs your input

Computer files and webpages
• Browse your computers and add projects (folders)
• View and edit (alpha) files (.docx, .xlsx, .pptx, .md and more)
• Upload and download files
• View webpages and dev servers

Computer displays and apps
• View a computer display, apps or an extra virtual display for monitoring and testing
• Control and operate the displays and apps right from Otter Beam app

Multi-platform, adaptive layout
• Layouts optimized for iPhones and iPads
• Use Otter Beam on iOS, computers, the web and other platforms
• Continue your projects, chats, files and edits when you re-open the app or switch devices (with sync turned on)
• Carefully designed details for comfortable reading, navigation and quick actions

Security and privacy
• View and manage every signed-in device under Profile > Devices
• Direct SSH over your local network near your computer; away from it, the Otter Relay forwards your encrypted stream and it remains private
• Sensitive data is end-to-end encrypted — keys are never uploaded to our servers, staying on your devices

Plans
Otter Beam Pro and Premium subscriptions add:
• More advanced voice transcription time each month
• Longer Otter Relay sessions for agents, files and displays on the go
Pricing, billing frequency and automatic-renewal terms are shown before purchase. Manage or cancel a subscription in Apple App Store; purchases can be restored from the Plan screen.
A free Otter Beam account is required to link devices. Requires installing and setting up Otter Beam on your computer.

Otter Beam is independent software and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any AI coding-agent provider.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.11.158 — 2026-10-09

- Links in chat open as tabs in the built-in browser; minimized screen windows and the browser share one side strip.
- Bubble view: reply headers jump to top or bottom, show the full reply and adjust its height.
- Screen windows: type with your own input method, including Chinese, and switch computers from Apps & Displays.
- A computer can now serve many more devices at once.
- Steadier web pages and screen access.

### 1.11.153 — 2026-10-07

- Several devices can watch the same computer screen at once.
- Photos: pinch to zoom, swipe between images, and a new editor to crop, rotate and mark up.
- Files panel shows a folder tree on wide screens and reopens as you left it.
- Redesigned top bar, composer toolbar and chat buttons.
- Agents ask before borrowing your mouse and keyboard.
- Sync keeps up better on slow connections.
- Lower memory use and several crash fixes.

### 1.11.139 — 2026-10-05

- Keep alive: chats are only woken when you set a wake time; drafts and recent typing are never interrupted.
- Faster first sync and first screen on new devices.
- Computers shared by several accounts show only the projects your account joined.
- Long pastes become attachments.
- New browser button in the toolbar.
- Lower memory and CPU use when idle.
- Wider chat column on large screens.
- Clearer tool card titles and many smaller fixes.

### 1.11.135 — 2026-10-03

Agents now keep going: if a session on your computer goes away after a restart or an unexpected stop, Otter Beam reopens it and continues, while agents you exit stay closed. The agents count above the chat box matches the Agents list. Session cards keep their running dot visible. Quoting text into a prompt is easier, and Pi sessions start reliably. Many stability and speed fixes.

### 1.11.128 — 2026-10-02

Files now open, edit, rename, delete, preview and transfer over the app connection instead of SSH, including Windows hosts and the web app with resumable chunked transfers. File transfers yield to your agents' live data. Built-in browser supports login pop-ups (Google sign-in). Truncated titles and messages can be expanded to full text. Fixes: stuck 'Running' sub-agents, Android browser crash, text selection offset in headings, performance tracing improvements.
