Tips & Tricks

  • Wrap UNC paths within quotes if they include spaces: "//SambaShare/Folder/S p a c e.png"
  • Shift enter always adds a newline regardless of enter/ctrl+enter setting.
  • Writing --, __, == in chat will add a horizontal rule.
  • Pasting image snippets and files into chatbox sends them over.
  • You are not limited to smileys that the program presents you. You can use any unicode emoji.
  • If you need more remote desktop features, I kindly recommend rustdesk: https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk

Why LAN Messenger? (2026)

  • No accounts, no logins.
  • Serverless. No need to keep a computer on, just to communicate.
  • Complete privacy. Your data stays within your network.
  • Lightweight. Stays out of your way.
  • Internet independent. Feel the joy of asking a peer: "Is the internet working?"
  • Nudging. Annoy your friends shamelessly!
  • 1 on 1 Encrypted communications.
  • Voice chat. (Opus 96kbps auto, encrypted)
  • Video chat/desktop sharing (VP8 720p 30fps 2000kbps, encrypted)
  • Multi platform (mainline linux & mac versions are compatible.)
