Fast. Private. Local.
LanChGo is an open-source LAN communication and productivity application for Windows.
It allows devices connected to the same local network to communicate, transfer files, and collaborate without requiring internet access, accounts, subscriptions, or cloud services.
This repository contains the Windows implementation of LanChGo.
Most communication tools depend on internet connectivity, cloud infrastructure, and user accounts.
LanChGo takes a different approach.
It is designed for environments where devices simply need to communicate directly with each other on the same network—quickly, privately, and without unnecessary complexity.
