What is AX Messenger?
AX Messenger is zen chat from Ax Lab. Presence, a buddy list, and a conversation. MSN- and AIM-era simplicity — not a retro parody. Open it in the browser at ax.axstart.com.
Is this a workplace OS?
No. AX Messenger is a quiet window for people. Presence, a buddy list, a conversation. Not channels, bots, and unread badges. Less is more.
Who is AX Messenger for?
Anyone who wants to stay reachable without a second workplace OS. Lightweight, browser-based, still there in the corner while you work.
How do I open AX Messenger?
Go to ax.axstart.com in the browser. Register, add a contact by email, wait for them to allow the request, then talk. Themes: axneu and axstart. There is no Windows installer.
Do you save my chats?
We don't save message bodies. Chat text, nudges, and winks are a live relay: the host delivers them to the other connected window, then drops them. If the other person is not connected, it does not wait. If both sides disconnect, it's gone from the host. Your tab may keep a local transcript until you close it. Accounts, contacts, and avatars still persist. Live file shares are written so a link can work — they are not a chat archive. This is not end-to-end encryption: the host can see plaintext while a message is in flight.
