Croft Caller

The phone dialler and in-call screen for Android and GrapheneOS, with call history, screening and voicemail handling. Free, with no ads, no telemetry and no internet permission. Calls still go through your carrier as normal.

The stock dialler on GrapheneOS does the basics and little more. Croft Caller shows who called and for how long, keeps notes and reminders with the call, and works hand in hand with Croft Messaging and Croft Contacts.

Croft Caller recent calls in dark mode, grouped by day with names and call lengths
Recents, by day, with who and for how long

The dialler that works for you

Calls you can handle later

Numbers you don't know can be screened, and a missed call can leave a reminder to ring back by notification, text or email.

Know who is ringing

Photo, name, company and a line like "3 calls in the last 30 days, last Tuesday" before you answer.

Reply without picking up

Decline with a text from your quick replies, or write one. Texts and notes stay hidden while the phone is locked.
