About Sanity

Sanity makes your phone calls better, easier and healthy. Sanity is your personal assistant to:

- audio record your phone calls in mpeg4, 3gpp or amr format (also automatically)

- announce caller and SMS: speak the caller's name when receiving a call or a message using the synthesized voice (text to speech)

- block unwanted calls and SMS: automatically refuse incoming calls and SMS filtering out the phone number (include or exclude anonymous and/or unknown numbers, favourites, contacts and groups; enable the block by choosing date and time); advanced: choose between different block methods to confuse the caller!

- auto answer: automatically answer the call when phone is ringing by choosing phone numbers, date and time and if respond only when using headphones.

- urgent calls: choose what phone numbers your phone will ring or vibrate also when it's in silent mode

- automatic speakerphone: automatically turn on/off the handsfree when the phone is far/close to your ear

- outgoing anonymous calls: make private calls by hiding your caller ID (also automatically by filtering the phone numbers to call)

- reduce electromagnetic waves: automatically turn on/off wifi, bluetooth, GPS and mobile data (2G/3G) when you speak at your phone

- choose different volume levels during calls: one for normal calling, loud handsfree, wired heasets volume and bluetooth headsets volume

- automatic bluetooth headsets: automatically enable bluetooth for a limited time when the call starts

- timeouts for restoring silent mode and airplane mode: just enable the silent/aiplane mode (in any way) and Sanity will ask you how much time to stay in that mode

- vibrate the phone when the call begins and when the call ends.

- fast sms: displays the received SMS allowing you to respond immediately.

Sanity uses proximity sensor for turning on/off automatically the antennas and the handsfree when the phone is close to your ear.
In this way, Sanity can make your calls healthier by lowering the electromagnetic fields.
It can be also useful while you're driving car: throught automatic handsfree, the headsets are no longer needed.

Most of Sanity features are configurable through the most advanced phone number filter: choose whether to activate a function for all numbers or for anonymous numbers, unknown numbers, contacts (all or some), favorite contacts, contact groups and also filter by prefix number.

Sanity is light, small and very fast.
Sanity is a free software, opensource, released under GNU Public License version 3.

This app uses the Device Administrator permission just for turning on/off the screen during a call.

App does nothing and you're unable to disable or uninstall, have tried numerous ways. When you are in a call an app notification is in your bar, but did NOTHING else! Pretty sure it's a data stealing app. About to factory reset phone

by Z####:

Please introduce an autoplay message when receiving a call on handsfree so that we can use it as an auto answer machine. Further almost all phones gives the option of auto answer calls when connected to headset or Bluetooth. I hope you shall bring the autoplay feature.

An awesome recording app.. perfectly compatible to samsung and moto phones and many other phones. Four starts coz at times it crashes. I wish devoper fixes the crash issue. Crash issue only happens 3 out of 100 times. Otherwise a super app.

D70%

Does it's work silently. So far I have used only the call recording feature. And I like it. Update on Feb 2017 Not working consistently at all. Some times works for a few seconds at the beginning of the call. Sometimes works for a few minutes. Sometimes just fails to start recording or showing the notification altogether. Once the recording stops during a call - there seems to be no way to resume the recording again. Was not this bad a few months ago. Used to work 80% of the time before. I am using a Samsung Galaxy J7.

by Z####:

Nice app - but what happened? When I had this app on my Samsung Galaxy note 3, I loved it but now that I have it on my Galaxy S8 there seems to be a function missing. How come I'm not able to record both parties anymore? When I listen to a recording, all I hear is myself and not the user that I was talking to. How come that feature no longer works? Other than that I like this app a lot but that was the main reason I downloaded it :-(

N70%
by N####:

Was about to buy but after testing by blocking my own landline phone number I found it worked once and only that once. Now, all calls are allowed through even after reboot/clear filters etc. App is useless to me unfortunately, as I wanted to buy to block marketing calls. Unrooted UK Galaxy S3

by Z####:

This app was well worth the donation price. However, it has failed to record any audio for at least a month, and the "surprise" has left me somewhat bitter. Great while it worked, but it don't work no more.

U70%
by U####:

At last found a really working call recorder for my Milestone. Was looking for one like this for the last 2years.Giving 4 stars.Lessing 1 star because of the ultra poor or nil service backup/help provided by the developer. He never replies to the postings in his website or to the emails sent to him. pnsdhrn

Had it for a day and tried every possible setting and can't get it to announce callers name through the BT headset. It's probably a setting I haven't figured out yet. But that is the main feature I bought Sanity for. Seems like it will be a good app though Jayd

On my galaxy s3 I was able to stop and start recordings at will while talking. But with my galaxy s4 it starts no problem. But if I stop recording mid conversation you can no longer record. It will not start again. Please fix this bug!

U70%
by U####:

Most of the negative comments below are either user error or not Sanity's fault. Can't uninstall? Remove it from being an administrator. Won't record? It's your kernel and ROM that don't support it. I've been using it for years on a number of phones, and it works fine. Records every call I receive or make.

M70%
by M####:

I purchased this app @ least 4 yrs ago. When I 1st got it I was thoroughly satisfied, then Verizon quit allowing it 2 record! Since I purchased it I still put on my new phone's & ck periodically. Now I've a Samsung through T Mobile & it works perfectly again. I no longer have original reason 4 using it but have found that since my memory fails me often, it really helps with details like dates & agreements I've made. Also, owner of app was extremely helpful when needed in beginning! Strongly recommend!

U70%
by U####:

I appreciate developer for efforts in understanding a user's need for things people hardly give attention to while operating a phone. Just want to know why does anonymous call feature NOT working on outgoing calls even after putting it enabled in settings.??

U70%
by U####:

This is a all in one app. Though the call block feature is not that efficient but just after installing this app i removed 3 apps as all those features were there in this app. Specially like the auto Bluetooth feature which automatically connects my Bluetooth on call and saves the battery. All in all a must have app

U70%
by U####:

Things don't work. On occasion it interrupts my calls. I started to thing out was causing problems on my phone and now i realize that it us impossible to delete. Go ahead, Google it. I think it's probably bs even if some features work on occasion.

D70%
by D####:

Why can't I block calls from 11pm to 6am? It say that the start time must be before the end time. It would be easier than multiple time ranges. Also, call recording is hit and miss. Withholding my phone number by filter doesn't work either for me.

Since paid version of Sanity is not available in my country, I donated via PayPal. 1.5 weeks ago. I have sent two e-mails to the developer and yet to receive any reply. Still stuck with the free version. I wonder if others have had the same experience...

U70%
by U####:

It can record properly but no need to tick stop automatically. It does not work auto answer. And also not function call anouncer. Call recorder and handsfree mode is very useful.

M70%
by M####:

The app was working great, but with update from JellyBean to KitKat, it now disallows and recording from phone. All you get is static noise. This applies to ANY call recording app you might download.

C70%
by C####:

Wrote to the developer days ago with no word back. Even after telling him this was the only thing stopping me from donating. My low score is due to the standards of customer service.

T70%
by T####:

Great app manages basically everything that has anything to do with your calls. Only complaint is that it doesn't start recording instantly. But other than that it's perfect.

I just wish there was a customized answer tone that you could record. For the idiots that couldn't uninstall read the instructions in the app and voila! You just graduated kindergarten!

U70%
by U####:

This app has potential for its all-in-one potential but it isn't working. It is blocking my contacts even though I told it to allow everyone except 800 and anonymous!

V70%
by V####:

They will work only in the "Donate Version". Impossible to try if they will work or not. I will suggest to the developer to create a "Trial" version. Free version is useless.

U70%
by U####:

Ok, ok so it doesn't record anything. But, the other things it does with the speaker phone and bluetooth switching back and forth is how the phone should work in the first place. Worth the price of admission.

X70%
by X####:

The app looks good at first, but I kicked it out off my phone after couple hours playing with it. English instructions is a joke, very confused. It's ability to block call is non-existence, even I try to set " block all calls ". The irony here is that Sanity's showing notification " call blocked " on the screen when the phone keeps ringing waiting for answer. Not recommended.

U70%
by U####:

I'd live to give this more stars but I don't like having to add an annoying caller to my contacts to block that number. I should be able to choose a recent caller/number to block. :/

C70%
by C####:

It's functional, but needs some minor bugs ironed out. And maybe a few more options. Other wise its OK.

U70%
by U####:

Absolute junk. What a waste of money and idea. If you want to sell your product, learn English. This crapware cannot even auto answer bluetooth. Maybe it can but can't understand your stupid instructions. Total crap, don't waste your money like I did!!!

M70%
by M####:

The call recorder works great for me. But there isn't a straightforward way to turn it into an answering machine. The abilities are there so it should be possible. Please. Silent and airplane mode timeouts are wonderful but they act strangely with profiles, asking for timeout value even when a profile trigger caused the mode change, not me.

R70%
by R####:

I used this app for several years. Even got the donate version. Worked for awhile. Now it does not block calls or keep callers from leaving voice mails. What happened?

R70%
by R####:

I'm interested in the AutoAnswering feature. Unfortunatelly this feature does not work at all on my MOTOG with Lollipop (Original ROM)

W70%
by W####:

Good for auto call record and call announce, these don't work by default on my Galaxy Note 3 (at least on KitKat). I think call announce works on Lollipop for your Favorite contacts but I'm not sure.

Z70%
by Z####:

I love this app so much. Please make it available to my country. (Philippines). I'm willing to pay for this very useful app.

B70%
by B####:

Fantastic application. The donation version is worth much more than the developer charges. And the support is exceptional - swift and comprehensive.

D70%
by D####:

They have blocked every other option and demand donation? If I use the option and feel its worth then I donate.

H70%
by H####:

Hi it is certainly an awsome app. It has got alsmost many options. However, the only cause of disappointment is that it doesnt serve my purpose. I wanted a call recording software, and it doesnt do that on my phone. I records the calls but doesnt record the voice of the other person. I would like to pay for it if it workson my cell. By the way im using, samsung galaxy fit. Developer canyou suggest any solution to it. I dont mind paying for your excellent app!

D70%
by D####:

Some of the features work fine but the call record doesn't. All the audio files can't be read on my droid 2 or windows 7 machine.

S70%
by S####:

Useless really. And I can't get my phone to let me delete it, even though it has no administrator privileges
