Overview
Softros LAN Messenger for Mac is a streamlined chat utility that does not rely on communicating with cloud-based servers but is crafted from the ground up to be fully functional in a peer-to-peer LAN network environment. It provides a wide array of chat features to computers connected to a single local area network, including text messages, emojis, status showcase, tabbed interface, system sound, and visual alerts, built-in file transfer service, and integrated hotkey support.
The LAN Messenger is offline-friendly, meaning that its chat connections will not be impacted if your entire LAN network loses connection to the internet, or even never gets access to it.
Regularly updated with new and exciting features, It has grown into a highly-capable communication client that home users, small businesses, organizations, and companies of all sizes can easily introduce to their Intranet, LAN, and WAN networks. To better serve more demanding users, developers of Softros LAN Messenger for macOS have adopted numerous advanced features such as integrated Remote Desktop Sharing, Terminal Services support, streamlined installation, and fully integrated advanced security that is based on a complete end-to-end AES-256 encryption.
Installation and Use
Even though Softros LAN Messenger for Mac comes pre-packed with a feature set that is ready for deployment in some of the largest companies in the work, its installation package is still fairly small and it clocks at less than 20 MB. The most popular macOS version comes with an intuitive installer that can be deployed on your Mac in a matter of seconds. System administrators in larger companies can also take advantage of a separate “.MSI” package that is optimized for large-scale Active Directory deployment and Terminal Service Engine for terminal servers.
Upon first boot, you will be welcomed into an incredibly streamlined user interface that promotes quick access to chat features. User listing window can be customized with directories for easier management of a large number of users. Individual chat windows feature chat history tab, message text tab, and easily accessible tools for desktop sharing, invites for group chats, and file transfer tool. In addition to individual chat sessions, users can also broadcast messages to selected recipients. One of the highly praised tools of the Softros LAN Messenger is its History Viewer that lists all text chat and file history made with any of the selected users.
Settings area holds hundreds of useful tweaks that can make your chat experience more streamlined and personalized. All of the available configuration tools are separated into eight distinct tabs – General, User Information, Messaging, Sound Events, Network, File Transfer, Logging, and Hot Keys.
