ANRO-BEAM

Touch phones. Send the file. Nothing else.

ANRO-BEAM moves files the way Android Beam once did. Hold two phones back to back and the transfer starts. No sign-up, no upload, no waiting on a server that isn't yours.

Try a beam right here.

Pick a file, then drag the phones together or press the button. It's a simulation, but the steps match the real app.

1. Pick a file to send

Drag the slider, or drag the phones themselves, until they touch.

    Simulation. Real speeds depend on your phones.

    Three steps. About four seconds.

    No pairing screens, no network setup. The whole exchange happens in the time it takes to bump two phones together.

    1. Open the file

      Pick anything: a photo, a PDF, an APK, a whole folder. ANRO-BEAM reads it straight from your file system.

    2. Touch the phones

      Hold the two devices back to back. ANRO-BEAM detects proximity and opens a direct link between them.

    3. Confirm and beam

      Tap once to send. The file moves phone to phone, never through a server, and lands ready to open.

    Everything stays between the two of you.

    Built for the moment you just want to hand someone a file, the way you'd hand them a photo print.

    Works offline

    No Wi-Fi, no mobile data, no router. ANRO-BEAM talks phone to phone directly.

    Any file type

    Photos, video, documents, APKs, whole folders. If it's on the phone, it can be beamed.

    Point-to-point only

    Files travel directly between the two devices. Nothing is copied to a server in between.

    No account, no wait

    There's no sign-up screen and no queue. Open the app and it's already listening.

    Install ANRO-BEAM

    Download the APK directly. No store account needed. Android will ask you to confirm installing from outside the Play Store the first time.

    First-time install

    Allow installs from this browser

    When Android blocks the install, tap Settings, then turn on "Allow from this source" for the browser you used. This is standard for apps installed outside the Play Store.

    Open the downloaded file

    Go back and open app-debug.apk from your browser's downloads or the Files app, then tap Install.

    If Play Protect shows a warning

    Debug builds aren't published on Google Play, so Play Protect may ask you to confirm. Tap More details, then Install anyway, if you trust the source.
