Decentralized Comms

Your house. Your network.
Your conversation.

LANYX is voice, chat, screen and camera sharing that runs entirely on your own network. No servers. No accounts. No internet needed.

LANYX — Decentralized Comms

Everything a household needs to talk

Built for real families on real networks — from the desk PC to the phone in the kitchen.

🎙️

Voice channels

Crystal-clear Opus voice on shared channels. Hop between General, Engineering, or Gaming — everyone on the channel hears everyone.

💬

Household chat that syncs

One global chat for the whole network. Devices catch each other up automatically, so a phone that was off still gets the conversation.

🖥️

Screen & camera sharing

Share a desktop screen, a phone screen, or a phone camera — and watch from any device. Show, don't tell.

📡

Networks anywhere

No Wi-Fi around? A phone can host its own local network and the household connects to it — voice and chat at the campsite, the grocery store, the road trip.

📁

File transfer

Drop a file into chat and anyone can grab it — straight from device to device across your own network.

🔒

Nothing leaves home

LANYX has no servers and collects nothing. Your voice, your messages, and your files never touch anyone else's computer.

Get LANYX

Free for personal use. Windows desktop and Android companion — they speak the same protocol and work together out of the box.

Questions people actually ask

Does LANYX need the internet?

No. LANYX runs entirely on your local network — a home router, or even a network one phone hosts itself. If your internet goes down, LANYX keeps working.

Do I need an account?

No accounts, no sign-ups, no passwords. Install it, pick a display name, and you're on the network.

Where is my data stored?

On your own devices, and nowhere else. Chat history lives locally and syncs directly between your devices. There is no server to store anything on — that's the point.

What platforms does it run on?

A full desktop app for Windows 10/11 and a companion app for Android 8.0 and newer. They interoperate on the same network.

How many people can use it at once?

On a home network, the whole household. On a phone-hosted network, up to about eight devices — plenty for a family on the go.
