Tired of spam calls from the same area code or a rotating batch of numbers? Call Filter lets you block entire ranges using simple wildcard rules. Instead of adding one number at a time, create a pattern like “+12345****” to block thousands of variants in one tap.
Built on Apple’s Call Directory extension, Call Filter works system‑wide so blocked calls are silenced before they ring.
Why you’ll love it
• Block smarter with wildcard rules
• Stop spam waves from rotating numbers
• Private by design — rules stay on your device and iCloud
• Clean, fast interface with quick rule testing
• Works seamlessly with your iPhone’s built‑in call blocking
Key Features
• Wildcard Blocking: Use “” to match any single digit (0–9). For example, “+12345***” blocks +123450000 through +123459999.
• Rule Management: Add labels, enable/disable rules, and search instantly.
• iCloud Sync: Your rules sync securely to your devices using your private iCloud database.
• Call Directory Integration: Exports rules to the Call Directory extension and updates incrementally for speed.
• Status & Controls: Check extension status, reload it, or jump to Settings if authorization is needed.
Private by Design
Your rules are stored locally and in your private iCloud database. The app doesn’t track you and never sells your data.
Notes
• Requires enabling the Call Directory extension in Settings > Phone > Call Blocking & Identification.
• Wildcards match a single digit only. Use multiple “” to match a range (e.g., “***” matches 0000–9999 at the end).
• Phone numbers are normalized to E.164 format (e.g., “+15551234567”) to ensure reliable matching.
What’s New
• Initial release with wildcard rule editor
• Incremental updates to the Call Directory for faster refreshes
• iCloud-backed SwiftData storage with automatic fallback
