About this app

YOUR FILES AND MESSAGES STAY YOURS

Private photos, work documents, videos... Nothing is uploaded to any server or the cloud. Your data stays between you and the other person, inside the same network.

LANbro is an offline LAN messenger and Wi-Fi file sharing app that lets you message and send files to nearby devices, with or without internet. No account, no phone number, no sign-up. Open the app, nearby devices appear automatically, tap and start.

WHY LANbro?
- Your data never leaves the network: messages and files are not uploaded to external servers
- No router needed: one person turns on a hotspot, the other connects, done
- Works with or without internet: keep chatting even when the connection drops
- Big files are no problem: send movies, albums and archives that messaging apps won't let you send
- No sign-up: no email, no password, no phone number

HOW DO I CONNECT?
