Bullhorn Text
Get it for Text your whole group from your own number. One click. Everyone gets their own text.
Bullhorn Text sends one personal text to each person on your list, through the Messages app already on your Mac. Their name in every text. No group thread. No monthly bill.
Mac app, macOS 12 or newer. 30-day money-back guarantee.
You know the Sunday night drill.
Sixty parents. One reminder. You can paste it sixty times. You can start a group thread that nobody asked to be in and that buzzes all night. Or you can pay a texting company every month to send it from a number nobody recognizes.
None of those feel like you. People answer texts from people. So Bullhorn Text sends from your number, to one person at a time, with their name in it. You click Send once and go make dinner.
Add your people
Search your Mac's Contacts, upload a spreadsheet, or paste names and numbers.
Write it once
Type (name) where their first name goes. Bullhorn checks your writing before anything goes out.
Click Send
Everyone gets their own text from your number. Replies come back to you, one on one.
Every text worded a little differently.
Sixty identical texts look like a robot. One click makes five natural versions of your message, and Bullhorn rotates them so no two texts in a row match. Edit any of them by hand.
Catches the typo before 60 parents see it.
Spellcheck misses the mistakes that embarrass us, because every word is spelled right. Bullhorn reads for the real ones:
- "going great" when you meant "doing great"
- "I praying for you" with a missing word
- a name column that's blank for someone
- a missing period, or a stray capital mid-sentence
"Every Sunday at 7 PM" goes out on its own.
Schedule any message for later, or repeat it every day, week, two weeks or month. Quiet hours hold anything that would land at night until morning.
STOP handled for you
When someone replies STOP, Bullhorn adds them to Do Not Text and skips them in every group from then on.
Your list stays on your Mac
No cloud, no account, nothing uploaded. Your contacts are encrypted on your computer.
Text me a preview
One click sends you the exact text the first person will get, so you see it on your own phone before anyone else does.
Custom fields
Upload a spreadsheet with a "kid" column and write "See you and (kid) at practice." Each parent gets their own child's name.
Paced like a person
A few seconds between texts and a daily limit you set, so your sending looks like you, because it is you.
No tapping Send 60 times
One click runs the whole list hands-free. Keep your Mac awake and it's done in a few minutes.

Not for marketing lists
Bullhorn Text sends from your personal number through Apple's Messages. It is built for texting people who know you and expect to hear from you. Buying lists or texting strangers breaks Apple's rules and US texting law, and it will get your number flagged. Please don't.
Questions
What do I need?
A Mac running macOS 12 or newer, with the Messages app signed in to your Apple ID. Bullhorn Text drives Messages for you, so texts come from your number.
Does it text Android phones?
Yes. iPhones get blue iMessages. For everyone else, turn on Text Message Forwarding on your iPhone (Settings, then Messages, then Text Message Forwarding, then your Mac), and those go out as regular green texts from your number.
How many people can I text?
As many as you like, but Apple can pause heavy senders. Around 200 texts a day is a safe ceiling, and Bullhorn warns you before you pass the daily limit you set.
Is my contact list uploaded anywhere?
No. There is no Bullhorn Text account and no cloud. Your groups live on your Mac, encrypted, and the app talks only to your Messages and Contacts apps.
What if my Mac is asleep when a scheduled text is due?
Bullhorn Text sends on time as long as it's open and your Mac is awake. If the Mac was off and a send is more than two hours late, it's marked missed instead of going out at a strange hour.
Can I use it on more than one Mac?
One license is for one Mac. Buying for a staff or a team? Email hello@bullhorntext.com and I'll set you up.
How do refunds work?
Email hello@bullhorntext.com within 30 days and you get every cent back. See the refund policy.
Who makes this?
I'm Justin Herman. I built Bullhorn Text because I needed to text groups of people every week, from my own number, without paying monthly or tapping Send a hundred times. Reply to any email and it comes to me.
Your people are waiting to hear from you.
One payment. Your number. Their name in every text.
