Wow! just absolutely wow! I have had thee worst time with spam calls over the years and this app is truly a godsend. I went from maybe 8 to sometimes 15 calls a day from spam and unknown numbers — that number has fallen to ZERO. Thank you guys, your app has solved a problem in my life. 10/5 stars.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Privacy & Permissions

Does the app read or upload my contacts?

No — and it goes further than most apps can claim: the app has no contacts permission at all. It never requests READ_CONTACTS. This is possible because of how it works: Android's call-screening system only hands the app calls from numbers that are not already in your contacts. The contact matching happens inside the operating system, so the app never even sees your contact list, let alone uploads it. Your contacts stay where they belong — on your phone, untouched.

What permissions does the app actually need, and why?

Very few:

  • Default call-screening app role — this is the core permission. It lets Android route incoming calls to the app so it can decide whether to ring, silence, or reject. It does not grant access to your contacts, call recordings, or messages.
  • Notifications (optional) — only if you want block/silence alerts, your weekly report, or milestone badges. The app works fine without it.
  • Internet — used solely to show ads, which keep the app free. No personal data is sent.

The app requests no access to your contacts, call logs, microphone, location, storage, or messages.

Where is my data stored? Is anything sent to a server?

Everything — your block/silence history, statistics, allow list, and settings — is stored locally on your device. There are no user accounts and no cloud sync, so there's nothing to leak or breach.

Does it read or block my text messages (SMS)?

No. The app has no SMS permissions and only deals with incoming voice calls. Your messages are never touched.

Getting Started

Do I need to sign up, log in, or pay?

No to all three. There's no account, no email, no personal info, and no subscription. Install it, set it as your call-screening app, flip one switch, and you're protected. The app is free, supported by ads.

How do I set it up?

After installing, the app asks to be set as your default call-screening app — tap to confirm in the system dialog. Then choose a mode (Block or Silence) on the main screen. That's the entire setup; it takes a few seconds.

Which devices and Android versions are supported?

Android phones running Android 10 or newer (this is when Android added the call-screening role the app relies on). It's an Android-only app.

How Filtering Works

Which calls actually get filtered?

Only calls from numbers that are not saved in your contacts. Anyone in your contacts always rings through normally — the app never even sees those calls. Among unknown numbers, you can further narrow the scope (see below) and carve out exceptions with the allow list and repeat-call bypass.

What's the difference between Block, Silence, and Off?

These are the three main modes:

  • Block — the unknown call is rejected outright. Your phone stays quiet and the call doesn't connect (callers may hear a busy signal or be sent to voicemail). It's logged in your history.
  • Silence — the call still comes through and is recorded in your phone's normal call log, but the ringer is muted so you're not interrupted. You can review and return it later.
  • Off — filtering is paused entirely and every call rings as usual.

Can I limit filtering to just international numbers?

Yes. Under Advanced Settings → Filter Scope you can choose:

  • All — filter every unknown number, or
  • International numbers — only filter unknown numbers that start with + or 00, while leaving unknown domestic numbers alone.

Can I silence calls instead of fully blocking them?

Yes — that's exactly what Silence mode does. The call is allowed to proceed and stays in your system call log, but your phone won't ring. It's the gentler option if you'd rather review unknown calls than reject them. You can switch between Block and Silence anytime.

Making Sure You Don't Miss Important Calls

Won't I miss important calls — from clinics, delivery, or a new work number?

The app is built with several safety nets so legitimate unknown callers can still reach you:

  • Anyone in your contacts always rings — saving a number is the simplest guarantee.
  • Allow list — add specific numbers (or number prefixes) that should always get through.
  • Repeat-call bypass — if the same unknown number calls back several times in a short window, it's automatically let through (people with something urgent usually call again).
  • Silence mode — instead of blocking, just mute the ringer and review the call later.
  • History log — every blocked or silenced call is recorded, so you can always see who tried to reach you and call them back.
  • Pause filtering — temporarily turn filtering off when you're expecting an important unknown call.

How does the allow list work?

Open Advanced Settings → Allow list and add a number. Each entry can match in one of two ways:

  • Exact — only that precise number is allowed.
  • Starts with — any number beginning with the prefix you enter is allowed (handy for whitelisting a company's whole number range or a country/area code).

You can also add a number to the allow list directly from your call history with one tap, and remove it just as easily.

What is the repeat-call bypass, and how do I tune it?

It assumes a genuinely urgent caller will try again. In Advanced Settings → Repeat Calls, you set two values: a repeat count (minimum 2) and a time window in minutes. If the same unknown number calls back that many times within the window, the app automatically lets it ring through. For example, "3 times within 5 minutes" means a number that calls a third time inside five minutes gets connected.

I'm expecting an important unknown call right now. Can I pause filtering temporarily?

Yes. Use Pause filtering in Advanced Settings to switch filtering off for 30 minutes, 1 hour, 3 hours, or the rest of today. It automatically turns back on afterward, so you don't have to remember to re-enable it.

History, Statistics & Reports

Can I see what was blocked or silenced?

Yes. The Blocked & Silenced History screen lists every call the app handled, tagged as either blocked or silenced with the time it happened. From there you can add a number to the allow list, delete individual entries (with undo), or clear everything.

What do the statistics show me?

The Statistics screen turns your protection into clear insights, including:

  • Total blocked and silenced counts for today, the last 7 days, and the last 30 days.
  • An estimate of time saved from avoided spam interruptions.
  • Trends — whether unwanted calls are up or down versus the previous week or month.
  • Your busiest hours and days for unwanted calls, and your most frequent blocked/silenced numbers.
  • Milestone badges as your total protected-call count grows.

You can share a summary of your protection stats from this screen too.

Can I get a regular summary instead of opening the app?

Yes. Turn on the Weekly / Monthly Report to receive a notification summarizing how many calls were blocked or silenced over the period. Weekly is the default, and you can switch to monthly or turn it off entirely. (This requires notifications to be enabled.)

Why would I turn on notifications?

They're optional, but they power three things: real-time alerts when a call is blocked or silenced, your weekly/monthly protection report, and milestone badges. If you prefer zero interruptions, you can leave them off and the filtering still works exactly the same.

Misc

Will the caller know they were blocked?

With Block, the call is rejected — the caller typically hears a busy tone or is forwarded to voicemail, much like a normal declined call; there's no message saying "you were blocked." With Silence, the caller's experience is completely normal (they hear ringing) — only your ringer is muted.

Is the app really free? What's the catch?

It's free and supported by ads. There's no paid tier required for the core blocking, silencing, allow list, scope, repeat-call, history, and statistics features described here.
