macOS SIP softphone
Cocktel is a native macOS SIP phone for people who need calls to stay steady across accounts, devices, networks, and providers. Calling, audio, history, and operational context live in one complete app.
Shape
Most calls need a clean surface: the account, the audio route, the number, and the call state. Complex days need the surrounding record too: registration, routes, device changes, network movement, and the journal entry that holds the story together.
Modes
Choose the account, pick the audio profile, make the call, transfer, conference, and move on. Cocktel keeps routine phone work light on the screen.
Registration, call legs, route changes, transport state, and journal artifacts stay available for the people responsible for the system.
Capabilities
Keep separate SIP identities ready for the calls, tests, and providers you work with.
Hold, transfer, and conference belong in the phone, with state that stays readable during a live call.
Prioritize headsets, speakerphone, and roaming setups for the way your desk actually changes.
Registration, DNS, VPN, route, and sleep-wake changes are part of the call environment Cocktel watches.
Keep duration, route, codec, packet health, and related artifacts attached to the call record.
Collect signaling from the app when the client is the right place to understand the session.
Run a signed, notarized app built around macOS permissions, audio devices, and update expectations.
Diagnostics
The journal can hold captures, transport events, registration state, audio route changes, and related metadata with the call they describe.
