How it works

Simple rules. No guessing. No surprise blocks.

1

Uses your phone’s own spam signals

SpamKatcher listens to what Android already knows: spam labels and caller verification (STIR/SHAKEN — the network check that marks whether a number is likely real). If your phone says spam, SpamKatcher silently declines.

2

Never blocks numbers

Spammers often fake numbers that belong to ordinary people. Blocking a number can punish the wrong caller. SpamKatcher declines the call, not the number — so a real person with that number can still reach you later.

3

One quiet summary at 8 PM

Each evening you get a single notice: “Caught N spam calls today.” No buzz for every decline. Just a calm end-of-day count.

Unknown or hidden callers who call back within 5 minutes get through — so a real person trying again isn’t locked out.

Private by design

Built to stay on your phone. Nothing to share, nothing to sync.

No internet permission The app cannot go online at all.
Collects nothing No accounts, no analytics, no ads.
Nothing leaves your phone Caught-call history stays local.
Costs nothing to run Free to download and use.

How to install

SpamKatcher is sideloaded — installed from a file, not the Play Store. Takes about a minute.

1

Download the file

Tap Download for Android above. Save the .apk file to your phone.

2

Allow install from your browser

When asked, allow your browser (Chrome, Samsung Internet, etc.) to install unknown apps. This is only for this install.

3

Turn off Samsung Auto Blocker (if needed)

On some Galaxy phones, go to Settings → Security and privacy → Auto Blocker and turn it off temporarily so the install can finish.

4

If Play Protect warns, install anyway

Google Play Protect may caution because the app isn’t from the Play Store. Tap More details → Install anyway.

5

Set SpamKatcher as your call screening app

Open SpamKatcher, make it your call screening app, and allow contacts access so people you know always ring.
