The brief
A bold, account-free browser product bringing ephemeral peer-to-peer chat, direct file transfer and local PDF signing into one clear experience.
The challenge
Everyday tasks such as sending a large file, signing a PDF or starting a temporary conversation often require an account, a subscription and a permanent copy of personal data on somebody else's platform. GhostBeam needed to make those workflows feel immediate while being precise about what peer-to-peer and browser-local technology can—and cannot—protect.
The approach
TIZZLE designed GhostBeam as three focused tools within one high-contrast, neo-brutalist interface. WebRTC and PeerJS support direct chat, video and device-to-device transfer, while the signing workflow keeps PDF processing inside the browser. Clear session states, shareable links, QR joining, responsive layouts and explicit privacy notes make the underlying technology understandable without turning the product into a technical dashboard.
The experience
GhostBeam has evolved from a small peer-to-peer chat experiment into a coherent private-browser toolkit. Users can hold ephemeral chats and video calls, transfer files up to 10 GB with visible connection progress, or place a signature on a PDF and download it with a SHA-256 audit certificate—all without creating a GhostBeam account.
