About this app
Blocky is a private, quiet call screening app for Android. It stops unknown numbers, spam, and telemarketers before your phone rings, while ensuring your contacts and trusted numbers always get through.
Everything happens directly on your device with no accounts, cloud servers, analytics, or third-party tracking. Your contacts and call logs never leave your phone.
Features
- Quiet Call Screening: Automatically checks incoming calls against your contacts and allowed list, silently rejecting unauthorized calls. - Protected Contacts: Phone book contacts can always ring through normally. - Allowed List: Add expected temporary numbers (such as delivery drivers or medical offices) without saving them as personal contacts. - Blocked List and Daily History: Review intercepted numbers and timestamps with full control to unblock or clear logs. - Emergency Repeated Calls: Set repeat call thresholds (e.g., allow calls through if the same unknown number calls back within 15 minutes). - Sound Alerts: Optional subtle retro sound effect triggers whenever an unwanted call is blocked. - Multilingual: Toggle interface language easily within app settings.
Requirements
- Android 10 (API level 29) or higher - Set as default Call Screening app - Contacts permission
