What is Beam?
Beam is a native ChatGPT client for macOS that opens a floating chat panel with a keyboard hotkey so users can chat without switching windows. It supports chatting about selected text, asking questions about a screen area, and working with PDF documents. Users can save prompts as templates and configure AI profiles for consistent model behavior. It is aimed at Mac users who want quick AI assistance inside their existing workflow. The app is sold as a one-time pay-what-you-want purchase with a free trial, and it requires an OpenAI API key.
