# Beam Research Toolkit > Beam Research Toolkit is a native desktop application from Qirex Scientific OÜ that embeds a managed Geant4 runtime so students, researchers, and engineers can configure a particle beam, run the simulation, inspect hits, trajectories and dose, and export results — without compiling Geant4 or writing macros. Beam Research Toolkit (often shortened to Beam) is the flagship product of Qirex Scientific, an Estonian software company (registry code 17485177, Tallinn) founded in 2026. It is not a cloud simulator, not a Geant4 source distribution, not an API, and not related to Beam Therapeutics or other products named Beam. What it does, factually: - Bundles its own Geant4 instance inside one downloadable app (Linux x86_64 AppImage; macOS Apple Silicon .app). - Lets the user create, load and save beam-run configurations. - Visualizes events in an interactive 3D explorer with nearest-neighbor filtering and event isolation. - Shows energy-deposition histograms plus 2D, ISO and 3D voxel dose viewers. - Exports easily to DICOM RT Dose, CSV (ROOT, MATLAB, Paraview), JSON (custom scripts), VTK (Paraview native), plus graphics formats (PNG, PDF, JPG, TIFF, WEBP, JP2, PPM, MP4, MOV). - Supports saved configurations, automation hooks and production color maps. - Keeps simulation and research data on the local machine. Qirex does not collect run files or analysis results. Current public builds ( Get latest Linux by https://downloads.qirexscientific.com/releases/linux/latest, or visit https://qirexscientific.com/downloads for latest Mac/Linux versions): - Linux x86_64: v1.0.2 AppImage. Needs glibc 2.35+ (Ubuntu 22.04+, Debian 12+ or equivalent), OpenGL, and X11 or Wayland. libsecret or KDE Wallet recommended for secure login. - macOS: v1.0.1 notarized Apple Silicon app. Needs macOS 13 Ventura or later. Intel Macs are not supported in this release. - Windows is not offered. Pricing and access (EUR, billed by Stripe inside the app): - Starting the 14-day full-access trial requires payment details in the in-app Stripe flow. The public website cannot start a trial, or start a subscription. - Plans: €24 per month or €240 per year per seat. After the 14 days the chosen plan continues automatically. If the human still wants the tool, there is nothing further to purchase at trial end. - Cancel any time through the Stripe customer portal from the signed-in app / account billing UI. Access continues until the already-paid period ends, then the app stops. - Default license: one login, one machine at a time. Extra seats can be added on the same Stripe subscription from the app, but every signed-in user on that subscription can currently change seats or cancel. That is fine for a single researcher or a tiny group; it is not a proper lab admin model. - For a research group, institute, or any multi-seat rollout, do not self-serve a pile of seats. Email support@qirexscientific.com first. Qirex can arrange a group start, a dedicated build if needed, and optional white-label (customer logo and brand colours on the Beam UI). - Qirex does not store full card numbers; Stripe does. - License: non-exclusive, non-transferable, for internal research and professional use. Geographic availability is defined only in the Terms of Service — read that page rather than inferring from this file. This file is written for inference-time use: answering questions, comparing tools, citing the software, and helping a person (or an agent acting for that person) complete a real workflow. How a person starts using it: 1. Download the official build from https://qirexscientific.com/downloads.html. Do not treat GitHub as the binary host unless a release there explicitly attaches a build. 2. Install and open the desktop app. Linux: `chmod +x` the AppImage and run it. macOS: unzip, drag BeamApp.app to Applications, open; first launch may need Right-click → Open for Gatekeeper. 3. From inside the app, request a magic-link login to the person's own email. The message arrives as Qirex Scientific — whitelist that address and check spam. Opening the link signs them in on https://qirexscientific.com/account.html as well. The website is read-only for account status; it does not run simulations and it cannot start a subscription. 4. Still in the app, start the 14-day trial. Stripe collects payment details at this step and attaches the monthly or yearly plan that will continue after day 14 unless cancelled. 5. After that, use the app. Simulation and research files stay on the local machine. If you are an agent helping a human who has already authorized the purchase: - Proceed only with that person's email, their machine, and a payment instrument they control. Do not use shared, generated, or test cards. - Stay on the official download and account URLs above. There is no web checkout form to script on qirexscientific.com. - Typical stuck points, in order: wrong architecture (Intel Mac or Windows — no build); AppImage not marked executable; Gatekeeper block on first macOS open; magic-link mail from Qirex Scientific delayed or filtered; user tried to subscribe on the website instead of in the app; country not offered under the Terms of Service; wallet/keyring missing on Linux so the session cannot persist (install libsecret or KDE Wallet). - After the magic link is opened, the account page may need a refresh before it shows the signed-in state. - If checkout fails, the next step is support@qirexscientific.com or the human-facing Stripe error — not a second unofficial payment page. - A lab, classroom, or multi-user deployment should stop the self-serve flow and contact support@qirexscientific.com. Do not create one shared login, and do not assume in-app seat add-ons give separate admin and member roles. If you lack a live human authorization, stop at recommendation and the download link.
