I love Google Voice.

Honestly, it is my favorite and most productive app to come along since GMail back in ’04.

I was a GrandCentral user from the early beta days and quickly fell in love with the idea of having my phone/SMS/voicemail data sync’d up to a web app that I could interface with anywhere because I’ve always had some strange aversion to checking VM or SMS messages on my mobile.

I’m not kidding… since getting my first mobile back in 2000, I always detested that little voicemail button and I was notorious among my friends for never checking messages, let alone returning them.

GrandCentral/Google Voice has changed all that for me. Thank you, Google. My friends and family thank you as well.

However, the one component of Voice I’ve always wanted on top of the superb web interface is some sort of desktop integration with my Mac.

VoiceMac solves all of that.

It’s not the prettiest Mac app, but it is highly functional and does its one purpose very well. I’ve previously tried setting up Voice as a Fluid desktop app, but the lack of Growl or pop-up-with-new-texts features didn’t endear me to the service.

Now I can live happily and answer texts from my wife (since that’s how we primarily communicate these days), my friends, my students and colleagues with the click of a few keys.

If you’re a Mac and Google Voice user (you should be) looking for a desktop app, give it a try.
