Introduction
Fossify Phone is an open-source dialer from Fossify, the community project that took over the Simple Mobile Tools apps after they were discontinued in late 2023. It carries on from Simple Dialer.
What it does
From the project’s description and the app itself:
- A call log, contact shortcuts and favourites, with the caller’s state or country shown in the history.
- Speed dial: assign a contact to a number key, then long-press that key to call.
- Blocking of specific numbers, of numbers not in your contacts, and of hidden numbers. The block list can be exported and imported.
- Multi-SIM support, as far as Android makes it available, and conference calls.
- Options for answering by swiping, a full-screen call screen and the proximity sensor.
Before you switch
- Make it your default phone app. It asks when it starts, and number blocking only works when it is the default.
- Keep your phone’s own dialer installed. The app says emergency calls can only go through the system’s default phone app.
- It doesn’t record calls. Fossify’s maintainer has said there is no reliable way to make call recording work.
- It asks for permission to display over other apps, which it says makes it more reliable, and it only lists contacts that have a phone number.
About this file
- This is Fossify’s own build of version 1.11.1, from February 2026, delivered through IzzyOnDroid and signed by Fossify. It is byte for byte the APK on the project’s GitHub release and the one F-Droid distributes.
- Fossify says its Google Play and F-Droid releases use the same package name and signing key, so this file can be installed over the Play version when it is the same version or newer.
- The APK doesn’t request internet access; calls go through Android and your carrier. The 9.2 MB file runs on Android 8.0 and later and declares 20 permissions, most of them for handling calls.
