Faxbot for Mac

Faxing from macOS made easy with Faxbot and FRITZ!Box

Faxbot is a lightweight, no-cost utility for macOS that lets you send faxes through a FRITZ!Box router directly from your computer. It removes the need for a stand-alone fax machine by enabling document transmission straight from your desktop using your existing home or office network.

How it works with your FRITZ!Box

Once installed, Faxbot links to a FRITZ!Box on the same network to relay outgoing faxes. The app provides a straightforward workflow: choose the file to send, enter the recipient’s fax number, and dispatch the document via the router. This setup relies on the FRITZ!Box for the actual call and transmission, so no extra telephony hardware is required beyond what your network already uses.

Key capabilities

• Handle several outgoing faxes at once, so batch sending and queue management are simple.
• Receive delivery confirmations and status updates for each transmission.
• Inspect documents before sending with an integrated preview function.

Ideal users

This solution fits both solo users and small-to-medium businesses that prefer a simple, network-based fax method. It’s particularly useful for people who already use a FRITZ!Box and want an uncomplicated way to send paperwork without maintaining a physical fax machine.
