OSPChat

Open-source LAN chat & voice calls for Android & Desktop.
No servers, no Internet, no accounts.

  1. Discovery

    Devices announce themselves over mDNS so peers on the same Wi-Fi see each other instantly — no setup, no QR codes.

  2. Direct

    Messages travel peer-to-peer over local HTTP. No relay, no central server, nothing leaves your network.

  3. Persistent

    Identity is a stable UUID. Contacts and history survive IP changes, restarts, and going offline.

  4. Rich

    Image attachments, reactions, group chats, and broadcast channels — all over the LAN, with read receipts.

  5. Voice

    One-to-one audio calls between Android and Desktop peers, negotiated peer-to-peer with WebRTC over your Wi-Fi — no STUN, no TURN, no provider.

  6. Seed

    Turn one phone into a bootstrap node. Newcomers join its Wi-Fi hotspot, scan a QR, and download the right OSPChat installer for their device — no internet required.
