Beam Brings Desktop-Like Browsing To iPad

Beam is a new iPad browser from 16-year-old developer Henrik Singh that replicates Arc-style desktop features on iPadOS. It combines a collapsible sidebar, color-coded spaces, keyboard shortcuts, tab caching, and on-device AI tools called Beam Intelligence using Apple Foundation Models. The browser aims to deliver desktop-grade workflow management and offline AI actions while remaining optional and privacy-focused.
