Phone, Text, Record Conversations On Your Mac With HandsFree 2

Call, text message and record conversations on your Mac, using an Android phone connected over Bluetooth – with no app required on the phone. HandsFree 2 from Canadian software development company Tunabelly Software Inc. turns your Mac into a powerful hands free device so you can use the built-in microphone and speakers (or use a USB headset) to make phone calls, manage text messages (SMS and receive MMS) or record important conversations.

It works with almost any Bluetooth enabled phone (including Android, Windows Phone and iOS*). HandsFree 2 guides you through the pairing and connecting, then provides you with an always available menu bar icon so you can quickly use your phone without having to get it. You can even leave it in another room or your pocket.

It’s like macOS Continuity except for everyone and with more features (especially if you have an Android phone).

Here’s what you can do on your Mac with HandsFree 2:

• Make and receive phone calls
• Send and receive text messages (SMS) *
• Receive images through text messages (MMS) *
• Record important conversations
• View missed, incoming and outgoing call lists.
• View existing text messages.
• Notifications for missed calls and low battery
• AppleScript support
• Contacts plugins and PopClip extensions

Features in detail:

Wirelessly connect your Mac with your cell phone using Bluetooth. Because there are no wires, your phone can be anywhere within range (usually up to 10m / 33ft).

Make a call right from your Mac by either choosing an existing contact, or by using the dial pad. There’s an included plug-in for the Contacts app for one click calling.

Get notified right away of an incoming call with the person’s name or number (requires Caller ID service). Choose to answer on your Mac or pass it to the phone.

You can also integrate it with an AppleScript script to dial a number, hang up or compose a text message.

Never worry about missing a text message. Incoming messages will appear on your Mac, with the option to reply in-line. Need to send a message?

Quickly see all the missing, incoming and outgoing call lists. It even uses relative dates like “Today” and “Yesterday”.

A fully stocked status menu is always available from the menu bar. So you can easily do what you’d like with your phone without having to actually get it. It also includes your phone’s battery, signal levels, and a roaming indicator.

Dial any number using the built-in dial pad. Or easily navigate a phone menu by choosing the numbers you need.

Compatible with macOS 10.9 and higher.

Notes:
– * Some features are not available on iOS devices (more about this here.)
– Android requires version 4.4 or higher for text messaging support.
