Stamped on every crate
Verified
Every file carries a sha256 checksum, checked on arrival. A corrupted transfer is rejected, never silently saved.
PIN lock
Require a PIN before anyone can send to you. Ten misses and the sender is locked out.
Share link
Serve files to any browser on your network — scan a QR with a phone, no app needed.
Encrypted
HTTPS transfers with certificate pinning against each device’s announced identity.
No telemetry
Zero analytics, zero tracking. Its only internet call is checking this page’s releases feed for updates.
Tray-ready
Lives in your tray or menu bar, receives while you work, and pops a notification when a parcel lands.
An open protocol. ParcelBeam implements an open local-network transfer protocol, so it interoperates with any client that speaks it. The far end does not have to be another ParcelBeam install.
And an iPhone app of our own
ParcelBeam for iPhone
On the App Store · Free
The iPhone app is built for the same network as the desktop — and does more:
- Share sheet — beam straight from Photos, Files or Safari.
- Sends and receives, with an accept prompt and optional PIN.
- Checksum-verified on the phone, not just the desktop.
- A history that does something — preview any file, save photos to your library, or jump into the Files app.
- Favourite devices so your Mac is preselected the moment it appears.
