## What is LANChat Pro?

LANChat Pro gives nearby iPhone and Mac devices a direct shared space for messages and files on the
same reachable local network.

FIND DEVICES AROUND YOU

LANChat Pro discovers compatible devices with Bonjour. Choose a nearby Mac, scan its QR code with
the camera, or select a QR image from Photos, then accept the secure connection request.

CHAT AND SHARE

Use one conversation for text, images, animated stickers, replies, and files. Save useful images
to Photos, keep important people in Contacts, and add private remarks that stay on your device.

BUILT FOR YOUR LOCAL NETWORK

• Start with a device name instead of an account
• Protect peer conversations with encryption in transit
• Keep chat history and received files on the iPhone
• Discover and connect only across a reachable local network
• Personalize your device name, avatar, appearance, and themes

LANChat Pro is useful at home, in studios, classrooms, labs, small teams, and temporary spaces. It
does not relay conversations through a hosted chat service. Devices must share a reachable local
network; guest Wi-Fi, client isolation, or firewall rules can prevent discovery and connection.
