BeeBEEP

BeeBEEP is a super handy open-source instant messaging tool that runs right on your Local Area Network (LAN). It lets you chat with friends or coworkers without the hassle of setting up a server. How cool is that?

Easy to Get Started

When you open up BeeBEEP, it’s super simple to begin. You just pick a username and set a password for your account. Remember, this account only works locally. Plus, the app scans your network to find other users, so you can start chatting almost right away!

Fun Communication Features

BeeBEEP isn’t just about texting; it’s packed with features! You can send messages to one person or even to groups. Feel like spicing things up? Use emoticons and custom font styles! And don’t worry about losing important chats—there’s a history log that keeps track of all your conversations.

Status Updates & Notifications

The app comes with some preset user statuses, but if you want something unique, you can create your own in no time! When someone sends you a message, BeeBEEP makes sure you don’t miss it with sound and visual notifications. Oh, and each message shows the time it was sent, which helps keep everything organized.

Share Files Easily

Since BeeBEEP operates on your LAN, sharing files is a breeze! You can even share entire folders without having to drag and drop files one by one. And rest assured—everything's protected because the data is encrypted using AES encryption.

P2P Protocol for Secure Transfers

All file transfers use the P2P protocol. This means that data stays within your network since BeeBEEP sets up direct connections between workstations. If you're looking for more features, you can also expand BeeBEEP by installing new plug-ins!

The Bottom Line

In short, BeeBEEP offers an easy-to-use yet effective instant messaging solution on LAN. No need for complicated setups or third-party services when transferring data!
