App: SpeedDial - Menu Bar Contacts
Developer: Zafer ARICAN
Genres: Productivity, Business

SpeedDial lets you make phone or FaceTime calls to your favorite contacts and send iMessage / SMS, WhatsApp and email messages to them from your Macbook or iMac without any need to reach your iPhone. 

*  Phone calls or sending messages make you interact with your iPhone. Often, this can lead to spending (if not waste) time on checking the social media or other apps after completing the call or messaging. Moving these communication tasks to your Mac using SpeedDial will let you focus on your main task and it will help preventing the unwanted procrastination and time wasting. 

*  With SpeedDial, you can find your contacts much more rapidly. Speed dial contacts, recent contacts and fast search enable this. 

Features:

* Call / FaceTime Audio and Video your favorite contacts with one click

* Send iMessage / SMS and WhatsApp messages to your favorite contacts

* Send emails to your favorite contacts

* Call / FaceTime or send iMessage / WhatsApp to any number or a contact in your address book

* Email to any contacts in your address book

* With recent contacts, you can reach your contacts that you communicate often lately. 

* Your contacts are on Touch Bar. 

* Menubar app: It is available all the time regardless of open app.


More Features:

* Keyboard Hotkeys: You can open the app using Cmd + Ctrl + s (You can assign a custom hotkey too.) 

* Strong keyboard shortcuts: When the app is active,  pressing keys from 1 to 9 will perform the default action (call, message, FaceTime or email) for the corresponding SpeedDial contact.
