BeamRight mirrors your entire Mac, with audio in sync, to any Chromecast or Google TV. Nothing to install on the TV, no browser, no account. Start free in Standard mode — flip on Pro later for near-instant ~0.25s, up to 4K.
No card, no account — Standard mode is free forever. · Optional Pro upgrade · Chromecast & Google TV · macOS 14+ · Apple Silicon & Intel
BeamRight is built specifically for Chromecast and Google TV — and only those. We'd rather tell you now than have you find out after buying.
Still not sure? Just try it. Standard mode is free forever — it tells you instantly whether your TV is supported, before you spend a cent.
Most casting apps drop the audio or delay it. BeamRight sends your full system audio in sync — through your soundbar, receiver, or TV.
Not a browser trick that mirrors one tab. BeamRight shows your entire Mac — every app, every menu, your cursor.
Open BeamRight, pick your TV, click. No pairing codes, no accounts, nothing to install on the television.
No 20-minute cut-offs. No pop-ups mid-movie. No tracking. No subscription, ever — it just gets out of your way.
Perfect for movies, slideshows, decks and big-screen photos. (~3–5s Wi-Fi delay — you'll feel it on games and live calls. That's exactly what Pro fixes.)
One developer, one price, real updates. We tell you up front what works — and what doesn't.
Everything here works in the free Standard mode. A couple of things just get even better once you switch on Pro.
Got an MP4, M4V or MOV? Play it natively on the TV — up to 4K, zero mirror lag, full quality. BeamRight auto-transcodes anything the TV can't read. (Local files only — not YouTube or streaming URLs.)
TV on Ethernet, or your router hiding it? Type the TV's IP and cast anyway. On a different subnet, Pro is the mode that reaches across it. better with Pro
Full (letterboxed, nothing cropped), Fill (edge-to-edge crop), or Extended display (experimental) — use the TV as a real second monitor.
One toggle sends the sound to the TV and mutes your Mac's own speakers — no echo. (Requires macOS 14.4+.)
Switch the whole app between System, English, 繁體中文, 简体中文, 日本語 and 한국어 — no restart.
New versions arrive on their own (Sparkle, signed). No store, no account, no nagging — and never any ads or tracking.
That's exactly what Pro fixes. Standard mode is free forever and needs nothing on your TV. Pro adds a one-time TV-side install that drops the lag from ~3–5s to about ~0.25s — lip-synced, at 1080p60 and up to true 4K.
*4K60 is experimental (~36–60 Mbps, prefers wired or Wi-Fi 6). ~0.25s is audio-bound — the floor is your TV's speaker hardware. Pro casts over your local Wi-Fi, unencrypted — use trusted networks. If Pro ever can't connect, BeamRight falls back to Standard automatically, so you're never stuck.
Drag BeamRight to Applications and open it. Standard mode is free forever — add Pro anytime for near-instant low latency.
BeamRight finds every Chromecast and Google TV on your Wi-Fi automatically. Click yours.
Your Mac appears on the TV, sound and all. Click stop whenever you're done. No codes, no browser.
Standard mode is free forever — no account, no card. Pro is a single one-time purchase that unlocks the near-instant, low-latency mode and works on up to 5 of your Macs.
Limited-time early-bird pricing. The free Standard download is never on a clock.
🔒 Auto-updates · No ads · No tracking · No account.
Standard mode needs no purchase — just download and cast. Buy Pro only if you want the near-instant, low-latency TV receiver. After buying, paste your key in the app (main screen or Settings → Pro).
Not on its own — Samsung and LG don't use Google Cast. But plug in an inexpensive Google TV streamer (the onn 4K, ~$30–40) and BeamRight works perfectly. Quickest test: if your phone can already cast to your TV, so can BeamRight.
No. Nothing — for Standard mode. As long as it's a Chromecast or Google TV device, you only install BeamRight on your Mac. (Pro adds one optional free receiver app on the TV.)
Yes — that's the whole point. BeamRight sends your full Mac audio in sync, including through soundbars and receivers, not just the TV's built-in speakers.
Standard mode has a natural 3–5 second delay over Wi-Fi (about 3 seconds on a modern Google TV). Great for movies, video, slideshows and presentations. For near-instant — live demos, the cursor, real-time — Pro takes it from ~3–5s down to about ~0.25s.
Yes. Cast Video File plays a local MP4/M4V/MOV natively on the TV with zero mirror lag, up to 4K, and auto-transcodes anything the TV can't read. (Local files only — not YouTube or streaming URLs.)
Yes. With Pro on an HDR-capable Google TV, BeamRight sends true HDR (HLG) and the TV switches to HDR mode — automatically, and only while you're actually playing HDR content, so nothing looks washed-out or dim. On TVs without HDR, the colour is corrected to good SDR instead. (Needs macOS 15+ on Apple Silicon.)
Yes. When the TV is wired or your router hides it, just type the TV's IP address by hand and cast. If the TV is on a different subnet from your Mac, Pro is the mode that connects across it.
You can — but it's $129+, and if you already own one your Mac just AirPlays to it (that's why Apple TV is in our “not supported on its own” list). BeamRight is for the Chromecast / Google TV world: an onn 4K dongle (~$30–40) on any TV plus a one-time $24.99 gets you the same whole-Mac-with-sound experience, near-instant.
No. Standard mode is free forever — no time limit, no beta, no account, no card. Pro is an optional one-time payment ($24.99 early-bird, regularly $34.99) — yours forever, with free updates and no subscription. No ads or tracking either way.
One Pro purchase activates on up to 5 of your Macs. Got a new Mac? Pro moves over automatically when you hit the limit — no support ticket, no hassle. No account or login: your license key is all you need.
