What changed

  • No more choosing "Send" or "Receive" up front — one "⚡ Connect to Beam" button shows your own QR code, a code-entry field, and the camera scanner all at once. Whichever side completes the pairing first wins.
  • A real pairing confirmation animation (a violet checkmark with a pop + expanding ring) instead of an easy-to-miss status line.
  • Restored auto-copy-to-clipboard when a link arrives live — this was in earlier versions of the app and got dropped in a rewrite. Back now, using Electron's native clipboard for reliability.
  • "Or send a link/text instead" is now a visible bordered box instead of a barely-visible text link.
  • New app icon — the round violet Beam mark, everywhere (window, taskbar, and the installer/exe itself).

Download

Beam-Setup-Windows.exe is the stable link — always resolves to the latest release.
