Office LAN messenger overview

Softros Messenger is an easy LAN messaging software for effective intra-office communication. It does not require a server and is very easy to install and use. Our communication application correctly identifies and works under Windows 11, 10, 7, 8, XP, Android, and Mac OS user accounts (without administrative privileges).
A local instant messenger comes with a variety of handy features, such as message notification alarms, personal or group messaging, audio calls/video chat, remote user access, and file transfers. Our LAN messaging utility offers robust encryption options for all incoming and outgoing messages, guaranteeing no unauthorized person ever reads the personal correspondence.

The program is very stable when running under any Windows operating system and in any network, regardless of size. This application can be used for contacting individual users or for group notifications. All messages are logged, so there is no risk of losing a message. All correspondence can be looked up at any time. Conveniently, there are sound alarms for incoming messages.
The application is very straightforward and requires no special training. It is ready to be used right after installation is completed. Configuring the program can be done by individual users without requesting any assistance from the IT staff or system administrators. All settings can be saved and easily transferred to another computer, if necessary.
