I’ve tried both VoidCall and nDialer as alternatives, and while they’re decent attempts, they don’t fully integrate with the system the way a proper stock dialer should. That’s why I think Nothing should consider developing its own dialer app.
A dedicated Nothing dialer could:
Offer full system-level integration (caller ID, spam protection, call recording, etc.).
Match Nothing’s design language for a clean, cohesive experience.
Respect user privacy by keeping everything local and transparent.
Provide advanced features (dual SIM support, VoIP integration, smart filtering) without relying on third-party subscriptions.
This would not only solve the current gaps but also strengthen the Nothing ecosystem, giving us a dialer that’s reliable, privacy-focused, and true to Nothing’s design philosophy.

Concept Path for a Nothing Dialer App
Phase 1 – Core Release (MVP)
- Clean, minimal Nothing-inspired UI.
- Full system integration: call logs, contacts, dual-SIM support.
- Basic caller ID + spam protection (no ads, no subscription).
Phase 2 – Smart Features
Built-in call recording (with region-specific compliance).
Visual voicemail and easy voicemail management.
Smart call filtering (priority contacts, blocklists, silence unknowns).
Phase 3 – Ecosystem Expansion
Deep integration with Nothing OS (Glyph notifications, widgets, quick actions).
VoIP support (integration with apps like Signal/WhatsApp through system dialer).
Cloud backup + restore for call logs and settings.
Phase 4 – Privacy & Transparency
All processing done locally on-device, with optional cloud features opt-in only.
Clear, open documentation on how spam detection works.
No third-party data selling — privacy-first by design.
Phase 5 – Future Vision
AI-powered transcription of voicemails and calls (opt-in).
Smart call summaries.
Integration across Nothing devices (Ear, Phone, CMF Watch, etc.) for seamless call handoff.
