CallShield blocks spam calls and texts using a 15-layer on-device detection engine with an ML spam scorer, RCS notification filter, and real-time caller ID overlay. Powered by a 32,933-number database with 30-minute hot list updates. Community-maintained, no accounts, no tracking. How It Works 1. 32,933 confirmed spam numbers — sourced from 1.75M FCC consumer complaints (2+ reports each), FTC Do Not Call, ToastedSpam, and community reports 2. 15-layer detection + ML — database, heuristics, on-device logistic regression, SMS content analysis, RCS filter, STIR/SHAKEN, and more 3. Real-time caller ID overlay — parallel lookups against SkipCalls, PhoneBlock, WhoCalledMe + OpenCNAM caller name, with SIT tone anti-autodialer 4. 30-minute hot list — trending spam numbers and campaign ranges refresh every 30 minutes via GitHub Actions 5. Callback-aware — won't block callbacks from numbers you recently called, or urgent repeated callers 6. Community-driven — one-tap anonymous contribution via Cloudflare Worker, daily merge into database Detection Layers - Layer Manual Whitelist: Numbers you've explicitly marked as always-allow - Layer Contact Whitelist: Numbers in your phone's contacts always pass through - Layer Callback Detection: Numbers you recently called (24h) are allowed — they're callbacks - Layer Repeated Urgent Caller: Same number calls 2x in 5 minutes → allowed through - Layer User Blocklist: Your personal block list with descriptions - Layer Database Match: 32,933 confirmed spam numbers + hot list (refreshed every 30 min) - Layer Prefix Rules: Wangiri country codes, US premium rate (+1900), international premium - Layer Wildcard / Regex: Custom pattern rules like +1832555* or full regex - Layer Quiet Hours: Block all non-contact calls during configurable hours - Layer Frequency Auto-Block: Numbers that call 3+ times get automatically blocked - Layer Heuristic Engine: VoIP ranges, neighbor spoofing, rapid-fire, hot campaign range detection - Layer Caller ID Overlay: Suspicious calls (score 30-59) get live multi-source lookup - Layer SMS Keyword Rules: Block texts containing specific words you define - Layer SMS Content Analysis: 30+ regex patterns, URL shorteners, suspicious TLDs, spam domain blocklist - Layer ML Spam Scorer: 15-feature on-device logistic regression model (weekly retrained) Additional Layers - SMS Context Trust — messages from numbers you've texted or received from on 2+ days are allowed - RCS Filter — NotificationListenerService monitors Google/Samsung Messages for RCS spam - URL Safety — URLhaus (abuse.ch) checks for phishing/malware URLs in SMS/RCS (post-decision, notification only) - STIR/SHAKEN — blocks calls failing carrier caller ID verification (Android 11+) Live Caller ID Overlay When a call comes in, CallShield shows a real-time overlay that queries 4 sources simultaneously: ┌──────────────────────────────────┐ │ LIKELY SPAM │ │ (212) 555-1234 │ │ New York, NY │ │ Spam Score: 80% (17 reports) │ │ JOHN DOE (OpenCNAM) │ │ ⚠ SkipCalls: Flagged │ │ ⚠ PhoneBlock: 5 reports │ │ ⚠ WhoCalledMe: 12 reports │ │ All sources checked │ │ [Search] [Block] [Dismiss] │ │ 🔈 Play SIT Tone (anti-dialer) │ └──────────────────────────────────┘ - Shows instantly with area code, then updates live as each source responds - OpenCNAM caller name lookup (free, 60 req/hr) - SIT Tone — ITU-T E.180 three-tone sequence tricks autodialers into removing your number - Color-coded: green (safe) → yellow → orange → red (spam) ML Spam Scorer On-device 15-feature logistic regression model — no TFLite, no heavy ML libraries.
