CodySafe CommPack

CodySafe CommPack is a pack which contains a few portable applications, which enable you to keep in touch with friends and family, regardless of your current location. It encloses Portable Miranda IM, Portable Skype and Zoiper.

Since all these items are portable, you are not required to go through an installation process, while the Windows registry is not going to be updated with any new entries, unless you approve it.

In addition to that, it is possible to remove all items without leaving traces behind, as well as run CodySafe CommPack on any computer you come across, by simply moving the program files to a USB thumb drive.

Zoiper is a VoIP program which requires a SIP, IAX or XMPP compatible provider and an Internet connection in order to help you communicate with your family. Packed with a pretty minimal and clean interface, it lets you contact several people in the same time (support for video, audio and text), and manage an address book.

Moreover, a quick dial feature is incorporated, it is possible to view conversation history and logs, as well as adjust the speaker and microphone volume with slider bars.

Portable Skype is primarily an IM which offers a great deal of features, while it also enables you to call real phone numbers. With support for conferences, file transfers and screen sharing, this version can only be run from U3 smart devices, which is considered to be a small setback as there are not many people still using this technology.

The latter utility included in this pack is Portable Miranda IM. This differentiates itself by enabling you to connect through multiple popular messaging protocols, such as ICQ, Jabber, MSN, Yahoo and AIM. It enables you to transfer files, and view the history of all outgoing and incoming items in a dedicated panel.

Last but not least, it is possible to ignore particular contacts, change your status, use one of the many supported add-ons and change appearance settings.

The system’s performance is not going to be affected in any way as these apps do not require a large amount of resources in order to work properly. Their response time good and all interfaces are quite intuitive.

Taking all of this into consideration, we can safely say CodySafe CommPack is a pretty handy suite, which enables you to keep in touch with others using different methods and protocols. Nevertheless, you should know this product has been discontinued and thus, will no longer receive updates.
