iFax
iFax is a Mac faxing app for sending, receiving, and managing faxes online without a phone line or physical fax machine.
What is iFax?
iFax is a business fax app for macOS that lets you send and receive faxes over the internet instead of using a phone line, modem, or standalone fax machine. It is designed for people and teams who still need fax workflows for offices, healthcare, legal paperwork, finance, and other document-heavy tasks. The app supports common document attachments and provides tools for managing outbound and inbound faxes from a Mac. Users can keep a fax number, track transmission status, and work across desktop, mobile, and web access as part of the broader iFax service from Crowded Road. For Mac users, it fits best when you want a dedicated desktop app for routine faxing, signed forms, and paperless document delivery.
Key features
- Send faxes from your Mac using an internet connection
- Receive inbound faxes with a dedicated fax number
- Attach and fax common document formats such as PDF, TIFF, and JPG
- Track fax delivery and status updates

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
iFax is legitimate fax software, but it handles sensitive documents and contact details as part of its core job. Access to files, contacts, and network connectivity is normal for a fax app, and cloud-based faxing means documents may be stored or processed through the service while you use it. If you fax medical, legal, financial, or other confidential records, review your account settings and retention preferences before sending sensitive material.
Recommendation: Keep iFax if you actively send or receive faxes on your Mac. Remove it if you no longer use fax services or want to reduce stored document and account data on the device; doing so may also remove quick access to your fax history from the desktop app.
