KobiChat
AvailableOn-Premises Messenger and Company Board
Messaging, file sharing, and a company board over your local network, served from one of your own computers: announcements, meal menu, birthday reminders, and emergency alerts.

Consumer messaging apps carry internal conversations to external servers. With KobiChat, the server is your own computer: tick "run the server on this computer" on any PC, and the others find it on the network automatically. Messages and files stay inside.
The messaging side is built for work: one-to-one chat and bulk messages to selected people, delivered and read receipts, a typing indicator, Available / Busy / Away status, a nudge to get attention, quick messages on Ctrl+1…7, and chat history by day. Files are sent by drag and drop and previewed inside the app.
The company board opens a shared space on everyone’s screen: announcements and notes, a daily or monthly meal menu, app shortcuts, scheduled notifications such as birthdays and celebrations, and an emergency alert that reaches everyone with one press (a fire drill, for example). Exchange rates can be shown optionally.
How long messages and files are kept is configurable. The interface is in Turkish, English, German, French, and Spanish, and the app updates itself. Free on the Microsoft Store.
