Communicate with people around as you go. With WiChat, you can chat with other Bonjour IM users in the same local network no matter what clients they are using.

Send/receive messages, change profile icon or status message. Browse all Bonjour IM clients in the same network and chat with them as if you were right in front of your computer.

Bonjour is a technology that Apple built to implement zero-configuration service discovery protocol. It's bundled with Mac OS X and iPhone/iPod Touch. WiChat takes advantage of Bonjour service to achieve serverless communication without a pre-configured server.

WiChat works with your Wi-Fi network, so you can chat anybody who are using Bonjour IM clients (e.g, iChat or Adium) from anywhere as long as you are in the same local network.

FEATURES:
- Display all Bonjour IM clients who are in the same local
network.
- Chat with Bonjour IM clients, such as iChat/Adium, as a
Bonjour buddy.
- Save chat history as you like.
- Change own buddy icon/status/message.
- Option to stay wifi connected after locking screen.

In an office, in a conference, in your home, you can send messages to your colleagues, friends or family quickly through WiChat wirelessly.

Participants in a trade show or conference, users of the same wifi hotspot, or employees on the same local area network can communicate without the need for a pre-configured server.

How to use WiChat with Apple's iChat Bonjour?
1. Launch iChat in Mac OS X.
2. Select "Window->Bonjour List" menu item.
3. Enable Bonjour IM if it was not.
4. Then in the Bonjour list windows you will see other bonjour IM users in the same local network (including WiChat users of course).
