Beam puts a few seconds of your partner on your Home Screen. Record a photo or a short clip, dress it up, and send it. It lands on your partner's Home Screen widget — no app to open, nothing to scroll. The next time they pick up their phone, there you are. SEND A MOMENT, NOT A MESSAGE • Photos and short clips that play right on the widget • Draw, add text and stickers, crop and adjust before you send A THREAD FOR THE TWO OF YOU • Everything you send each other, in one conversation • Messages, photos, clips and voice messages • React to what your partner sends JUST THE TWO OF YOU • Pair with a five-character code, a QR code or a link • No feed, no followers, no strangers, no ads • Take back anything you sent — it disappears for both of you • Report anything, leave the pair, or delete your account at any time Beam needs two people: install it, then invite your partner.
