I built RelicBeam — temporary sharing and device access in the browser
I’ve been building RelicBeam, a browser-first toolkit for temporary sharing without accounts or a permanent file library.
It currently has four main modes:
Room — share files and text with a group using one QR/code
Quick Beam — one-to-one sharing for files, text, links and passwords
Beam Link — temporary direct-download links
Device Portal — end-to-end encrypted Remote Files and view-only Remote View
There are also local PDF/image tools for preparing files before sharing.
The newest part is Device Portal, and that’s probably the feature I’m most curious to get feedback on.
Remote Files lets you select a folder on one computer, approve another device with a QR/code, and then browse, preview and download files directly through the browser over WebRTC. On supported host browsers, you can also allow additive uploads.
I deliberately kept Remote Files non-destructive: there are no delete, rename, move, or intentional overwrite controls.
Device Portal traffic is end-to-end encrypted between the connected browsers. RelicBeam’s regular uploaded-file modes use a different model because those files are malware-scanned before being encrypted at rest.
You can try it here:
I’m trying to spend less time adding features now and more time finding the rough edges.
Would especially love feedback on:
whether the four modes are immediately understandable
Device Portal / Remote Files UX
anything that feels unnecessary or confusing
browser/mobile issues
I’ve been looking at it for too long, so fresh eyes would help 😅
