Coolmuster Android Assistant for Mac is a handy application that helps you manage Android-based devices on your Mac.
The moment you launch the application, the program waits for the Android device to be connected to your Mac computer. Once the connection is established, the tool reads your phone's characteristics and provides you with general information of the plugged-in device, such as the model, the system's version, the power level, and the storage space size, both internal and of the SD card.
The next logical step is to enable the scanning process in order to retrieve the data you are looking for. You will find all the information that you need conveniently organized into clearly-defined categories, accessible from the left panel. Therefore, the "Apps" module displays the applications already installed and offers to remove the utilities you don't need anymore, either by uninstalling or by exporting them to a specific computer location. In addition, you can install new tools just as easily. When it comes to contact data, you are provided with a summary of the total number of contacts stored in the device as well as detailed information related to each of them. If the list of contacts is significantly large, you can make use of a search filter to find specific contacts faster. Furthermore, you are able to export your contact list to an HTML or VCF file for backup, edit the phone numbers of existing contacts, and delete unnecessary records. Managing text messages is also a hassle-free task. You have the ability to preview received messages, export and print SMS texts, and send messages to selected phone numbers directly from your Mac.
In conclusion, the program is a comprehensive Android device assistant that allows you to manage applications, contacts, and SMS texts stored on Android smartphones and tablets from your Mac computer.
