Adaptive Display

Premium mode and minimal mode for different devices

Beam features an adaptive display system that automatically adjusts the visual quality of the app based on your device's hardware capabilities. This ensures a smooth experience on every device, from the latest flagship phones to older or more basic hardware.


Premium mode

On modern, high-performance devices, Beam enables its full visual experience:

  • Smooth animations Fluid transitions and micro-animations throughout the interface.
  • Glassmorphism and blur effects Translucent surfaces with backdrop blur for a modern, layered look.
  • Multi-layer gradients Rich gradient backgrounds and accent colors.
  • High-quality images Full-resolution item images and thumbnails.
  • Layered shadows Depth effects with multi-layer drop shadows on cards and elements.

Minimal mode

On older or less powerful devices, Beam switches to a streamlined visual mode that prioritizes performance:

  • Instant transitions Simplified animations that complete immediately for a snappy feel.
  • Solid colors Clean, solid-color surfaces instead of blur and transparency effects.
  • No blur effects Backdrop blur is disabled to reduce GPU load.
  • Optimized images Images are loaded at reduced resolution to save memory and bandwidth.
  • Simplified shadows Single-layer or no shadows for faster rendering.

How it works

The adaptive display system works entirely automatically:

  • Auto-detect capabilities When the app starts, Beam evaluates your device's GPU, memory, and processing power to determine which mode to use.
  • No configuration needed There are no settings to change. The app makes the best choice for your device automatically.
  • Team flexibility Different team members can use different devices seamlessly. A manager on a new iPad sees the full Premium experience while a warehouse worker on an older Android device gets the fast, Minimal experience. Both see the same data and functionality.
ℹ️
The adaptive display system only affects visual presentation. All features, data, and functionality are identical in both Premium and Minimal modes only the visual fidelity differs.
