How to Setup Beamhole on MacOS

Install on Mac

To install, download the latest MacOS release, and double click on the .pkg installer to get started.

You may be asked to allow Network Connections. Click "Allow":

How to reveal the Beamhole user interface:

Once installed, click on the Beamhole systray icon (top right of your screen) and click Settings to reveal the Beamhole user interface.

Next, customize the Shared ID to be a secret phrase that only you know. This will prevent other Beamhole users on your network accidentally receiving your files. Use the same Shared ID when setting up Beamhole on other devices.

Click Update to save.

Once you've set up your other device, it should automatically appear on the "Devices" tab. You are now ready to transfer a file.

How to transfer a file or directory:

To send a file or directory from Mac, either:

drag a file/directory on top of the Beamhole icon on the Desktop, or
right click on the file/directory in Finder > Quick Actions > Send with Beamhole
