EchoLAN is the ultimate local communication tool designed by Bits & Pips. Whether you are in an office with restricted internet, on a flight, or camping in the wild, EchoLAN lets you chat, make video calls, and share files with anyone on your local networkβ€”completely offline.

Forget about data limits, slow upload speeds, or third-party servers reading your messages. With EchoLAN, your data never leaves your local network. It’s like AirDrop, but for Android, Windows, Linux, and macOS.

πŸš€ Key Features:

πŸ“± Offline Chat: Send text messages to friends and colleagues on the same Wi-Fi or Hotspot without using a single byte of mobile data.

πŸ“‚ Blazing Fast File Transfer: Share photos, videos, and documents at full local network speeds (often 10x faster than the cloud). No file size limits.

πŸ“ž Voice & Video Calls: Make crystal-clear P2P voice and video calls to anyone on your network.

πŸ”’ Privacy First: We have no servers. Your chats and files go directly from Device A to Device B. Your data stays yours.

πŸ‘₯ Group Chats: Create groups for your team or family and keep everyone in sync.

πŸ’» Cross-Platform Magic: EchoLAN isn't just for phones. Connect seamlessly with Windows, Linux, and macOS computers.

🌍 Perfect For:

* Offices & Teams: Share large project files instantly without clogging the office bandwidth.
* Travelers: Chat and share vacation photos on planes, trains, or boats where internet is expensive or unavailable.
* Privacy Enthusiasts: Communicate knowing your data isn't passing through a cloud server.
* Home Use: Share movies or albums between your phone and laptop in seconds.

πŸ”§ How it Works:

1. Connect all devices to the same Wi-Fi network (or create a mobile Hotspot).
2. Open EchoLAN on all devices.
3. The app automatically discovers peers nearby.
4. Start chatting and sharing!
