About Nexus Call Screening

What it is

Nexus call screening works on Android and iPhone. People in your contacts ring like normal. Most callers you don't know talk to an automated assistant first, which asks who's calling and why. Real callers are put through or leave a voicemail you can read, and numbers on the spam list are refused. It screens phone calls, not texts. It's a private service for a small group, and you can only join with an invite.

Who makes Nexus

Nexus Call Screening is made by Noah, a solo developer in North Carolina. He answers member emails himself.

Our promises

• One price, billed monthly. No upgrades, add-ons or ads.
• You can cancel yourself, in about a minute, under Account.
• A real person replies to you within 12 hours.
• People in your contacts always ring. Nexus never blocks them.
• The person running this service can't read your voicemail or hear what callers said.
• We only notify you about your calls and app updates.

One thing to know before you join: calls with no caller ID, shown as "No Caller ID" or "Unknown", are refused. Some doctors' offices and hospitals call that way, so ask them to call from a number that shows, or add them to your contacts.

Price

$6.00 a month, billed monthly by Stripe. 7-day free trial, cancel anytime.

A separate phone number is included. Your carrier's own charges for forwarded calls, if any, are between you and them.

Canceling and refunds

You can cancel any time from your Account page. You keep your service until the end of the period you've paid for, and you won't be charged again. Payments already made aren't refunded automatically, but if something went wrong, get in touch and we'll make it right.

If a payment fails, you have 7 days to fix it before service stops. After service ends, your number and data are deleted 7 days later, and you can come back any time before then. How to cancel and turn Nexus off

Is Nexus legit? Why isn't the app on Google Play?

Nexus is run by Noah, a solo developer in North Carolina. The Android app is installed from the Nexus website instead of Google Play, and on iPhone, setup uses your phone's own settings.

• Billing is handled by Stripe, so your card number never reaches this site.
• You can cancel yourself any time under Account.
• Refunds work as described under Canceling and refunds, above.

Your calls and privacy

• Callers are told the call is being screened and may be transcribed.
• What a caller says is turned into text by Twilio and read by Anthropic's Claude AI, to decide what to do with the call. Twilio holds your number and voicemail recordings, and for most accounts your call history. Some accounts are answered by Nexus's own server instead, which keeps their call history and settings, with a backup copy of the settings at Twilio. Their voicemail is turned into text by Deepgram when that's turned on, and by Twilio otherwise.
• Call history and voicemail are kept for 30 days by default. If you correct the AI about a call, what that caller said is kept for the same time and the AI reads it when deciding later calls. You can see and remove these under Settings, Your corrections. A number caught as spam is remembered for 90 days, but not what was said.
• The person running this service can see who called you and what the AI decided, such as spam or allowed. Their admin screens don't show what callers said or your voicemail.
• On Android, the app reads your contacts and call history on your phone to decide who rings. Those never leave your phone. When it rings for someone, it tells Nexus that one caller's number for about a minute, so they can leave a message if you miss the call.
• On iPhone, setup imports your contacts' phone numbers so people you know can skip the AI. Only numbers are kept, never names, and you can remove them any time. The person running this service can see how many were imported. If you choose to email your contacts in instead, the whole file, names included, goes through Resend, our email provider, and stays in the email account this service uses for about 30 days, where the person running this service could open it.
• Spam numbers are shared to protect everyone: a number the AI catches on more than one person's line gets blocked for all, along with numbers from public FTC complaints. Only the number is shared, never what was said. Your contacts are never blocked.
• Account emails, like password resets and billing notices, are sent through Resend. They never contain anything about your calls.
• Your phone number's verification and the setup test call are placed from this service's main Twilio account, so those records, with your cell number, stay with Twilio for its normal log period after your account is deleted.
• Payments are handled by Stripe. Your card number never reaches this site.
