Hi Product Hunt, I’m the maker of BeamDrop.
I built BeamDrop because sending photos from iPhone to Windows PC is still annoying: cables are clunky, cloud sync is slow, and many tools require sign-in.
BeamDrop runs a tiny local web server on iPhone, so your PC can receive files directly in a browser. No cloud relay, no account, no extra desktop app.
I focused on three things:
Speed: pick and transfer in seconds
Simplicity: open one URL and download
Privacy: local network transfer only
If you try it today, I’d love feedback on:
first-time setup clarity
transfer reliability across different network setups
what file workflows you want next
Thanks for checking out BeamDrop.
