Zero-setup auto discovery
Open the site on any device in the same network and it joins the space on its own. No codes, no QR scanning, no pairing.

Everyone in the room,
connected in one click.
OKYA Space turns the devices on the same Wi-Fi into a private collaboration space. Open the page and nearby devices find each other automatically — chat, send files and share directly, peer to peer, without uploading anything to a server.

From the same Wi-Fi to the same spaceYOUR NETWORK. YOUR SPACE.
Features
Everything a room needs to work together.
No cables, no cloud folders, no “can you email it to me?”. Just the people who are actually here.
Strict LAN verification
A shared public IP is never enough. Devices must reach each other over private addresses before they are trusted as neighbours.
Peer-to-peer group chat
Messages travel over encrypted WebRTC DataChannels directly between devices. The server never sees what you write.
Fast file transfer
Send images, videos, PDFs and any other file up to 1 GB at local network speed, with live progress for every recipient.
Inline previews
Images, videos and PDFs open right in the conversation, so everyone sees the same thing without downloading first.
Live presence & auto-reconnect
See who is online and how each device is connected. Dropped links rebuild themselves when Wi-Fi comes back.
History that stays on your device
Messages and received files are kept in your browser’s local database, per network. Clear them whenever you like.
Screen sharingComing soon
Mirror a screen, window or tab to everyone in the space for reviews, lessons and demos — peer to peer, like everything else.
Shared clipboard & whiteboardComing soon
Drop links, snippets and sketches into a board the whole room can edit together in real time.
Use cases
Wherever people share a network.
One page, every device: laptops, phones and tablets on Windows, macOS, Android and iOS.
Meeting rooms
Pass slides, recordings and notes to everyone at the table in seconds, then leave nothing behind in a cloud folder.
Classrooms & workshops
Hand out worksheets and collect results from a whole class without accounts, USB sticks or a school login.
Home & family
Move photos from a phone to the family PC or send a document to the printer laptop — across every brand of device.
Events & studios
Share shot lists, raw footage and run-of-show updates with the crew on site, even when the internet uplink is slow.
How it works
Open the page. That is the whole setup.
OKYA Space uses only standard browser technology, so there is nothing to install or configure.
Join the same network
Connect your devices to the same Wi-Fi or wired LAN, then open space.okya.app in a modern browser.
Devices verify each other
A lightweight signaling service introduces candidates; each pair then proves it is reachable over private LAN addresses.
Chat, send and share
Once verified, everything flows directly between devices. Close the tab and you leave the space.
Privacy & security
It never leaves the room.
The only thing OKYA Space runs in the cloud is a small, in-memory signaling service that helps devices find each other. It has no database and stores nothing.
Messages and files are sent over WebRTC DataChannels, which are always encrypted (DTLS). TURN relays are disabled by design, so content can never be forwarded through a server.
If your browser cannot prove that another device is really on your LAN — for example on guest Wi-Fi with client isolation or behind a VPN — Space tells you clearly instead of guessing.
- No TURN relay, ever
- No database, no account
- Encrypted peer-to-peer channels
- Clear local history anytime

FAQ
Questions about local sharing, privacy and devices
What is OKYA Space?
OKYA Space is a browser-based local network workspace made by OKYA. Devices on the same Wi-Fi or wired LAN discover each other automatically and exchange messages, images, videos, PDFs and other files directly, peer to peer, over encrypted WebRTC connections.
How does it know that devices are on the same LAN?
A shared public IP address only makes two devices candidates. Space then opens a WebRTC connection that may use only local host candidates — private, link-local or mDNS addresses — with no STUN or TURN servers. Only if that strictly local connection succeeds are the devices shown as members of the same space, and the path is re-checked while connected.
Do my messages or files pass through a server?
No. The signaling service only exchanges connection set-up data such as session descriptions and network candidates, keeps it in memory, and has no database. Chat content and files travel only over direct DataChannels. TURN relays are refused, so a server can never forward your data.
Do I need to install an app or create an account?
No. Open space.okya.app in a modern browser on each device. A random device key is generated locally to identify the device; there is no sign-up, phone number or email address involved.
Which browsers and devices are supported?
Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS and iPadOS. The browser needs WebRTC, WebCrypto and IndexedDB, and the page must be opened over HTTPS.
What happens if my network cannot be verified?
Space shows an explicit message and does not join you to anyone automatically. Common causes are guest networks with client isolation, VPNs, mobile data, or corporate networks that block peer-to-peer traffic. You can try another network or use an optional LAN verification node.
What is a LAN verification node?
An optional small program you run on an always-on computer inside your network. Each browser visits its private address once and receives a short-lived signed token bound to that device. Devices holding tokens from the same node are grouped together even when the browser alone cannot prove the local path.
How large can files be, and how fast is the transfer?
Each file can be up to 1 GB. Files are split into chunks and streamed directly between devices with flow control, so speed is limited mainly by your Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Every recipient shows its own progress. If a connection drops mid-transfer, simply send the file again.
Where is my chat history stored?
Only in the local IndexedDB database of each browser, separated by network. Nothing is uploaded. You can clear the history at any time, and clearing site data in the browser removes it completely.
How many people can join one space?
Up to 32 devices can be connected in the same space at once. Every device connects directly to every other device, which keeps messages fast and private inside the room.
Is screen sharing available yet?
Not yet. Screen sharing, a shared clipboard and a collaborative whiteboard are on the roadmap and are marked “coming soon” on this page. Chat, file transfer, previews, presence and local history are available today.
Can I use Space with someone on a different network?
No, and that is intentional. OKYA Space is designed for people who share the same local network. For remote collaboration, use a tool built for the internet; Space keeps everything inside the room.
Same network,
same space.
