Why use your mobile phone to send an SMS when you have your Mac keyboard in front of you?
If you'd like an easier way to send SMSs than using the tiny numeric keypad on your mobile phone, then SMS Mac is for you. SMS Mac enables you compose a text message on your Mac and send it via the Internet. That's right, to send messages, you don't need your mobile phone! With SMS Mac, you no longer depend on your mobile phone network to send text messages, you only need an internet connection.
You can run SMS Mac in different ways: as a Dashboard Widget, as an Address Book plugin, or as a Yahoo! Widget. If you also use Windows, we also offer a Send SMS Yahoo! Widget for Windows XP.
SMS Mac integrates seamlessly with your Contacts (previously called Address Book).

You can configure iCal and SMS Mac to send yourself an SMS to remind you of an important meeting. On a Mac OS X server, you can use it to send the system administrator an SMS alert when a certain condition occurs. Several example scripts are included.
