Dial-Up Simulator

Dial-Up Simulator brings the sights and sounds of the dial-up internet era back to your Mac. Screaming modems, and authentic connection experience right from the menu-bar!

Click the phone icon to "connect". Hear the dial tone, custom DTMF phone number dialing, then the iconic modem handshake. When you’re "online", a live timer tracks your session. Disconnect anytime, or let the app hang up when your Mac goes to sleep.

Features

• Menu bar app - always within reach and never clutters your Dock

• Full connect sequence: dial tone → optional dial number → modem handshake

• Built-in V.90 (56k) handshake sound, plus support for importing your own modem sounds

• Adjustable volume

• Connection timer shown in the menu bar while connected

• Optional time limit with a custom disconnect reminder message

• Fake monthly bill and usage stats based on classic dial-up rates

• Configure sleep and wake behavior

Note

Dial-Up Simulator is for entertainment only. It does not connect to the internet, place phone calls, or access your network. All sounds and stats are simulated locally on your Mac.

Requires macOS 11.5 or later.
