Does Egidio listen to my calls?+
No. Egidio never has access to audio content — only metadata (number, timestamp) via Android's official call-filtering APIs. Learn more →
Do my messages ever leave my phone?+
No. Analysis happens exclusively on-device. Only anonymous, opt-out usage statistics are ever sent — never the content of your communications. Learn more →
Do I need an account?+
No. No account, no sign-up. Egidio works right after install. Learn more →
Why is basic protection free?+
Because call protection should never be a luxury. It's included, for everyone, forever.
Why "Medusa"?+
Because a scam is never an isolated event. It's a story that moves from channel to channel — it took an engine built to follow it.
Which phones does it support?+
Android, from Android 12 onward — optimised for Samsung, Google Pixel, Xiaomi and other major manufacturers. Getting started →
Does protection stay active all the time?+
Yes, including in the background. On certain brands (Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo...), an extra
battery setting is needed — Egidio guides you there automatically.
