LLort: an anti-spam app that doesn't spy on you
Blocking unwanted calls and texts shouldn't cost you your privacy.
The problem
Phone spam has become unbearable: robocalls, SMS scams, relentless cold-calling. And the most popular way to fight back? Apps that, in order to block spam, hoover up your entire contact list and monetise your data. You swap one problem for another. We found that absurd — so we did the opposite.
What LLort is
LLort is a full-featured Phone and SMS app that replaces the ones on your device and automatically blocks unwanted calls and messages, thanks to a community-powered database: when enough users report a number, it is neutralised for everyone. The bigger the community grows, the more accurate the protection becomes.
Detect, block, report
LLort doesn't just filter numbers that are already known — it analyses incoming SMS to spot and report:
- unwanted marketing messages — including those that demand a "STOP" reply to unsubscribe: blocked automatically;
- SMS scams — you are warned before you tap a booby-trapped link.
For users in France, LLort can forward reports to 33700, the national service against unwanted SMS (operated by AF2M) — optionally and with explicit consent every time. Reports feed both LLort's community protection and the national scheme. All of this from the free version onwards.
What makes LLort different
- Your contacts never leave your phone. No harvesting of your address book, ever.
- The app's code is open source. The Android client is published under GPL-3.0, so anyone can read and build it.
- Zero trackers — independently verified via Exodus Privacy — and no ads.
- No identity stored. Your identifier is an irreversible cryptographic hash (phone number + PIN code): tracing it back to your identity is technically impossible.
- Works even without Google. No need for Google services; a direct-download version is available for de-Googled phones.
- Free, no account required to try it out (discovery mode).
Much more than an anti-spam app
- Counter-measure: faced with a call you know to be malicious, trigger (on confirmation) a deterrent burst of sound in the caller's ear; when it ends, the number is automatically blocked and reported.
- FakeCall: a fake incoming call you can trigger to politely escape an awkward situation.
- Forward to e-mail: forward an SMS/MMS to your inbox in a single tap, even during a call.
- Voice dictation: write your texts by voice; recognition happens on the device, nothing is sent to the cloud.
- Full personalisation: colours, themes, effects, icon and shortcuts.
Our model, in full transparency
LLort runs on a subscription, with a genuinely usable free tier (and even without creating an account). Funding a community anti-spam service through subscriptions rather than advertising or data resale is the only model consistent with our promise: you are the customer, not the product.
We wanted this subscription to be as accessible as possible — the "buy us a coffee" spirit. The yearly plan works out at roughly the price of a coffee a month: one coffee a month for a year, for a phone free of spam and surveillance. Our tiers are even named after coffees — Americano (free), Espresso and Lungo (subscription). No ads, no trackers, no resale: your subscription is the only thing that keeps LLort running. (The exact price, VAT included, is shown in the app and on the store according to your country.)
One honest clarification: the client is open, the anti-spam engine (server side) is closed. Publishing its heuristics would amount to handing spammers the means to bypass them. Everything that runs on the user's device is open and auditable; the shared service stays protected.
