Description
Just keep your iPhone in your pocket.
DockPhone lets you make calls right from your Mac.
Speak freely via the microphone of your computer.
We developed DockPhone because we wanted to have a real phone app on the Mac.
As known from TechCrunch, LifeHacker, MacRumors, ifun and others!
To start a call, type or speak any number or a name. DockPhone lets you search in your contacts, or dial arbitrary phone numbers. Hit the Dial button and enjoy your phone call.
NOTE: Make sure you meet the requirements listed below. Otherwise DockPhone won't work for you. We have listed several troubleshooting tips on our Help site (see the links on the right). You will also find contact information to receive additional support!
Oh, and check out the beautiful Today widget you'll get with this app!
Re-dial your most recent contacts with just one click!

Ratings and Reviews
Useful for Sales/Marketing
It has sped up my work flow so I dont have to dial customers from my phone, especially during the pandemic while all contact has been on my mobile at home. Just plug some headphones into your computer, copy & paste the phone number into the field and you're ready to go.
Works a treat!
Take the time to set it up properly (instructions on website are comprehensive and simply described) and it is terrific. I listen to lots of music via headphones on my iMac, but I have never missed a phone call with this app. It may seem old (2015), but I cannot think of any way it could be improved. Great app, great price, and the best I have used of its genre.
Must-have but lacking one key feature
This completes the receive-call feature on Yosemite. One key feature I’d like see added in coming updates to the UX though is a numerical dialer.
