Hi everyone,

I built Beam, a Mac app for people who publish websites to their own web hosting or for client websites and want a faster workflow than traditional FTP tools.

Instead of relying on slow file-by-file uploads, Beam is designed to make deployment faster, clearer and more reliable.

What Beam focuses on:

  • faster website publishing

  • resumable uploads

  • backups before release

  • rollback if something goes wrong

  • a clearer release workflow for client projects

  • Hotfolder workflow

I built it because publishing websites to regular hosting still often feels more painful than it should. Beam is my attempt to make that process smoother for web designers and it is designed to work with folder export workflows.

Beam is available in English and German, and one project is free to use, so you can test it in your own workflow.

You can check it out here:

Feedback is very welcome.

The Beam App looks cool and have some nice features. For me, it looks to be complicated, compared to other known Apps already is use. IMO, the default youtube should be 1080p, not 360. Be aware 360p is too blurry. Also, it would be should better when vocal instructions are in the demo.

Thank you for your feedback. Setting it up and using it is really easy. Why not give it a try? It’s completely free for one project. You can see if it works for you. If you run into any issues or have questions, let me know. I uploaded some 1080p videos, but I noticed the quality isn’t great. I’d like to improve that next time.
