Local Instant Messenger is a Python application designed for communication between two computers within the same local area network (LAN). With this application, users can exchange messages securely and conveniently.

• LAN Messaging: Seamlessly send and receive messages between two computers running the program on the same LAN.
• Computer Name Targeting: Specify the computer name you want to send messages to, ensuring precise communication.
• Multiple Computer Support: Although the feature is currently inactive, the application is designed to support messaging to multiple computers for future expansion.
• Custom Usernames: Personalize your identity by creating a unique username for yourself.
• Fortune Teller: Enjoy additional functionality with the ability to retrieve good, bad, or random fortunes.
• Message Encryption: All messages are encrypted to maintain privacy and security. Even if network traffic is intercepted, message content remains protected without the decryption key.
• Typing Indicator: Know when the other user is typing, enhancing the real-time communication experience.
• Automatic Updates: The program automatically checks for updates and downloads them, ensuring you're always using the latest version.
• Windows Popup Notification: Attempt to send a Windows popup notification to computers without the app running, providing a convenient prompt for users to initiate communication (requires user permission for remote control).
