Hi everyone! 👋
I've created an open-source desktop app called VoxShare — a Push-to-Talk voice communication tool that uses UDP Multicast and the Opus codec for fast and efficient audio streaming over local networks. It’s designed with simplicity and privacy in mind — no servers, no accounts, just instant LAN voice chat.
🎯 Key Features:
🔊 Real-time audio streaming with Opus codec (via PyOgg)
🌐 UDP Multicast — works without centralized servers
🖥️ Modern GUI built with CustomTkinter
🎤 Push-to-Talk (PTT) with optional keyboard shortcut
📻 Visual audio level meter
💡 Multiclient audio mixing (each peer is both sender and receiver)
🧩 Configurable INI file (with GUI options coming soon)
💬 Nicknames and active speaker display
🆓 100% open-source, cross-platform (Windows for now, Linux support in progress)

This project was born out of my personal need for a lightweight, LAN-based voice chat tool, especially for offline setups, local team coordination, or internal networks without access to Discord/Zoom/etc.
Any feedback, testing, suggestions — all are welcome! 🙌
Happy to answer any questions or collaborate with others.
