Roger Router

Roger Router is a graphical front end for AVM FRITZ!Box routers. It sends faxes through the box, shows the call monitor, answering machine and fax memory, and resolves numbers to names via your address book or an online directory.

Features

• Send faxes via the FRITZ!Box, optionally in higher resolution
• Real-time signalling of incoming and outgoing calls
• Softphone with DTMF support
• Read, print and delete call lists — saved locally and extended over time
• Reverse lookup via online directories (11880, Das Örtliche, gebeld.nl, …)
• Dial from your PC, e.g. by double-clicking a journal or address book entry
• Address books: Evolution, Google, Thunderbird, vCard and FRITZ!Box
• Reconnect your internet connection remotely
• Actions on call start/end, e.g. pause and resume media playback
• Passwords stored securely in GNOME Keyring
• Setup assistant and custom journal filters

Install

• Linux: Flathub
• macOS: Homebrew — see roger-router-homebrew
• Windows: build with msys2 using the build script
