ShizuCallRecorder

Empowers ADB through Shizuku to record phone calls on non-rooted device!
ShizuCallRecorder is the first non-root FOSS call recorder app for Android 11+. It empowers ADB through Shizuku to use an advanced list of permissions granted to the shell application (Shell AndroidManifest).

Features
  • Records both sides of phone calls (incoming and outgoing)
    • Should work even when using Bluetooth or a remote headset
  • Security toggles to manage Shizuku on/off state
    • Helps reduce the potential attack surface introduced by Shizuku
    • Helps with apps that detect or warn when USB debugging or Shizuku is enabled
  • Automatic call recording option with basic exclusion rules:
    • Ignore anonymous calls
    • Ignore specific contacts
    • Ignore all contacts
  • Saves recordings using Opus or AAC codec
  • The app runs only on phone event changes, with no persistent background process and no notifications


Requirements
  • Android 11 or newer
  • See the Android Tested Versions table on GitHub for more information on limitations
  • Shizuku (recommended fork: thedjchi)
