LANCOM FOR WINDOWS

Preview build · Public download not available yet
WHAT IT IS DESIGNED TO DO
Local communication, without a cloud relay
A LAN messenger is useful when the people and devices you want to reach are already connected to the same local network. LanCom focuses on that nearby environment rather than a cloud-hosted chat service.
Direct conversations
Send direct messages and keep local conversation history on your device, so everyday chats stay close to the computers and people using them.
Send files between devices
Transfer files directly between peers. The current product design includes encrypted streaming and integrity checks; actual speed depends on the network, storage and devices involved.
