The desktop app

Your whole fax history, in one window

An Outlook-style inbox for fax. Faxes arrive on their own, and you find any of them by the words printed on the page.

The FaxDirect desktop app open on a Windows laptop, with folders, the day's faxes and the open fax side by side
Recorded in the app: a fax arrives and opens

What it does

Built for the front desk, not the IT closet

The things a busy office actually does with a fax — reply, forward, scan, search, and hear it arrive — each one click away.

Delivered to your inbox

Incoming faxes appear in the app automatically. No fax machine, no dedicated line, nothing to refresh.

Background sync

Checks for new faxes on its own, as often as every 30 seconds, and signs itself in after the first time.

Grouped by day

Unread faxes stay bold, every folder shows how many it holds, and you find a fax by when it arrived.

AI content search

Find a fax by medication, patient name or claim number — the words printed on the page, not just the sender.

Caller ID search

Search by sender name or number across the whole mailbox, downloaded or not.

Fax from pharmacy software

Send straight from Fillware, Kroll and similar systems without exporting a PDF first.

Comment and reply

Answer a doctor's fax in one click — add a note on the page and it goes back to the sender.

Comment and forward

Send a fax on to another number with your annotation, and keep the chain in the archive.

Scan and attach

Straight from your scanner or multifunction printer, plus PDFs, Office files and images.

Large mailboxes open instantly

Faxes load in batches as you scroll, so thousands of records are never a wait.

Resend or forward a sent fax

One click from the Sent folder, no hunting for the original file.

Audio notifications

A short tone when a fax is sent or arrives, so nobody has to watch the screen.

Requirements

Installs from the Microsoft Store in a minute
