SocketChat is a messaging app that helps you communicate with your friends on the same network, where one of the devices with this app installed acts as server. Just make a session and enjoy talking to your friends.

The app does not use any third party database to store your chat, its all saved in a local database and you can delete any session whenever you want.

You can customize the app however you want:

This app is all you need when it comes to local network text chatting.

While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device. Some clients have this repo enabled by default, e.g. Neo Store, Droid-ify, or, of course, the IzzyOnDroid client by Sunil. With others (like the official client) you'll have to add this repo manually (see the hint on top of the package list for how to do that).
