Beam Browser

Organize iPad browsing into a sidebar with pinned tabs, nested folders, spaces and keyboard-driven navigation.

Our take

Choose for keeping several research contexts apart.

A command bar and shortcuts complement a workspace-based tab structure.

Keep in mind: AI availability depends on device support or an external provider; desktop-like organization does not guarantee desktop-site compatibility.
