Is there any app (prefrebly from fdroid main repo ) or website that is open source and privacy based but also can do what true caller does ? (lemmy.today)

I like the uses of true caller even though it isn't always correct it does come pretty close but having it in my phone is too big a price to pay .

It looks like it doesn't have had any updates in 2 years atleast on fdroid.

And? What updates does it need to block calls?

Its a rule of thumb to keep software which uses internet updated for privacy/security reasons

It still works but most importantly I couldn't find anything better. Even if the app is updated moving or recreating the database is a much harder task.
