LANcet Chat is a free software that enables real-time messaging over local networks. It eliminates the need for a chat server, making it easy to install and use.
LANcet Chat enables sending of private messages, and you can hold as many independent conversations as you want at the same time. This software can start automatically with Windows and stay in the system tray near the clock, waiting for messages throughout the day without disturbing you. Popup windows and sounds will inform you when new messages arrive, or when new users appear in your contact list.
You have the option to switch off some boring interlocutors by "ignoring" their contacts, and you can use emoticons to express yourself beyond words. LANcet Chat also features a simple "Antiboss" system. Simply press Esc, and your chat will hide in the system tray, or it will erase all the latest messages you received. This feature comes in handy when your boss is walking behind you and monitoring what you're doing on the job. In summary, LANcet Chat is an excellent messaging software that offers convenience, privacy, and efficiency.
