Fritz.mac Suite

Fritz.mac Suite is a cool app from the German company AVM GmbH, designed to work with their FRITZ!Box devices. These devices are not just any ordinary routers; they often come packed with features like DSL or cable modems! When you use Fritz.mac Suite along with your FRITZ!Box, you can turn your Mac into a telephony powerhouse, letting you handle calls, faxes, and even manage an answering machine right from your computer.

Getting Started with Fritz.mac Suite

To kick things off, all you need to do is enter your FRITZ!Box IP address in the app's Preferences. Don't forget to select your country and add in your telephone area code too! You can also enable fax support here and choose how you want to connect – whether it's ISDN, Analog, or Internet/VoIP. Oh, and setting up your Fax number and creating a Fax header is a breeze!

Call Monitoring Made Easy

One of the best parts about Fritz.mac Suite is its ability to keep tabs on both incoming and outgoing calls. It even has a bunch of actions that you can set up for when calls come in or go out. For instance, if you're busy working, you can mute the system volume without missing a beat!

User-Friendly Interface

The main window of Fritz.mac Suite has a neat layout divided into two sections: on the left side, you'll find smart folders that help organize everything while the right side shows their contents. Plus, everything is sorted by purpose—so whether you're dealing with phone calls or managing your Box phone book, it’s super easy to navigate.

Effortless Contact Management

If you let Fritz.mac Suite access your Contacts.app on Mac, importing contact details becomes as simple as double-clicking! But if you'd prefer doing things manually, no worries—you can add new contacts too. Just remember to include at least a name and phone number; there's also an option to mark important contacts or assign speed dial codes.

Your All-in-One Communication Tool

With Fritz.mac Suite, making or receiving calls as well as sending or receiving faxes is all possible from the comfort of your Mac. The app even offers an answering machine feature! So if you're using a FRITZ!Box residential gateway device at home or work, this suite helps you manage contacts easily while keeping track of all your communications.
