Set up once. Publish in seconds. Beam's guided onboarding connects your website, local export folder, and server step by step. After that, publish manually or let Hotfolder mode take over after every export.
Fast publishing
- Optimized releases. Beam bundles thousands of files into one compressed package and extracts it on the server.
- Delta uploads. Transfer only what changed.
- Resume uploads. Continue interrupted transfers instead of starting over.
Automatic when you want it
- Manual or Hotfolder. Publish with one click or automatically after an export.
- Current server helpers. Beam checks and updates helpers for all projects, including parallel updates.
Backups and rollback
- Back up what matters. Protect the webroot or selected files and folders outside it.
- Roll back quickly. Return to a previous release when needed.
Ready for multiple Macs
- iCloud sync. Keep project settings in sync while each Mac uses its own local export folder.
- Native macOS details. Project previews, favicons, notifications, launch at login, and automatic thumbnail generation.
Try Beam free with one project.

Beam is amazing. It significantly speeds up the process of deploying a website to the server, and since the update to version 1.1.1, it’s been very easy to set up. It has quickly become one of those tools I can’t imagine my daily work without.
Beam is just what I needed for my workflow. 1 build my site with Stacks 6 and TCMS 3.5 and run it locally as a Development site with MAMP. Then when I'm ready to go to Production with my changes | "Beam" it up to BetterSiteHost. I used to use Transmit for this but Beam is more stable and MUCH MUCH faster. I now use it all the time.
Beam significantly speeds up my RapidWeaver uploads—often by a factor of 2 to 4. Instead of transferring many individual files, zipped “chunks” are sent and unpacked on the server side, which saves a lot of time, especially for projects with many individual files (e.g., TCMS3). Once the setup is complete, everything runs automatically in the background. The integrated backup (Webroot or individual folders) is an added bonus. Highly recommended for anyone who deploys regularly.
