Apps: Simple Dialer

Summary Clean dialer and contacts app from the Simple Mobile Tools lineage.

Maintainer

• Historically Simple Mobile Tools; community forks exist (e.g., Fossify Phone).

Repository

• SMT: https://github.com/SimpleMobileTools/Simple-Dialer
• Fossify fork: https://github.com/FossifyOrg/Phone

History

• Part of the Simple Mobile Tools suite; after ownership changes in 2023, community forks like Fossify maintain FOSS‑first variants.

Why use it

• Minimal permissions; no trackers; integrates well on de‑Googled ROMs.

Safe use

• Review default phone/contacts app permissions; back up contacts locally (VCF) rather than cloud sync.

Limits

• OEM dialer integration (e.g., visual voicemail) may be unavailable on some carriers.
