The desktop app makes Vocal feel like a phone that lives on your computer — calls ring where you work, texts notify natively, and the phone window stays out of your way until you need it.

Install

Download at vocal.solutions/api/download — it detects your platform automatically. Sign in and you’re done; updates install themselves in the background.
  • macOS — signed and notarized; open the DMG and drag to Applications.
  • Windows — during the beta the installer isn’t yet code-signed, so SmartScreen may warn on first run. Click More info → Run anyway. (Signing is in progress.)
Nothing about the desktop app is required — the browser app does everything. Desktop is for teams who take calls all day and want the native feel.

The phone window

Your calls live in a dedicated window with three shapes:
  • Compact — keypad, recent calls, and contacts. The everyday view.
  • Mini — during a call it can shrink to a small always-on-top strip with just the call controls, so it never covers your work.
  • Expanded — the full-width view with the live transcript and details captured so far. Drag the window wider to switch.

Built for incoming calls

  • You can’t miss a ring — the dock icon bounces (Mac) or the taskbar flashes (Windows), on top of the ring itself.
  • Closing the window doesn’t take you offline — Vocal keeps running in the system tray / menu bar, so inbound calls still reach you. Quit fully from the tray icon.
  • Launch at login (optional) — recommended if you’re in a ring group, so a morning reboot doesn’t silently take you out of the rotation.

Sign-in note

Signing in with Google opens your regular browser to complete sign-in securely, then bounces you straight back into the app — that round-trip is expected, not a glitch.
