We've all been there

One quick story.
Forty minutes ago.

Some moments deserve a closing line.
Which one are you in?

A little website preview. No sound. No real calls.
The app lets you choose your own caller and timing.

YOUR EXIT LINE

When “long story short” was a plot twist.

“I'd better take this.
Tell me the rest next time?”

Mom
Suggested simulated caller

Good company.
Great exit timing.

A little ring.
A lovely way to wrap up.

A fake-call simulator, made for iPhone.
You choose the caller. You choose the moment.
Nobody else gets called.

01

Cast your caller.

Mom, Boss, or your own creation. Start with 12 presets, or add a name, photo, and audio clip from Files.

02

Choose your cue.

Ring now or set a timer. Leave the app open on its Waiting screen; switching apps or locking cancels it.

No awkward bill, either

Free.
Not “free*”.

*All features are free in this release.
That is the whole footnote.

The whole app.
Not a five-call audition.

Unlimited calls. Unlimited custom callers. Audio imports, scripts, widgets, and Shortcuts. No upgrade screen waiting around the corner.


Fake calls.
Real boundaries.

No account. No ads. No analytics SDKs. No device permission prompts. Your callers and clips stay in the app's local storage, with backups handled by your device settings.

The plain-English privacy policy

Wait, one
last thing.

Is someone actually calling me?

No. GottaBounce draws a simulated call screen inside the app. It never dials a number, changes caller ID, or contacts another person. Think entertainment and rehearsal—not real telephony.

Will everyone hear my audio clip?

Answered-call audio is designed for the top earpiece by default. Speaker plays aloud only when you select it. If a private output is unavailable, Speaker-off playback stays silent. Ringtones and editor previews can play aloud. Read the audio guide.

Can I lock my phone and wait for the call?

No. Keep GottaBounce open on the Waiting screen. Locking your phone or switching apps cancels the timer. This release does not ring from the background or send notifications.

Does it need my microphone or contacts?

No microphone recording or device permission requests. If you want a photo, contact, or audio file, a system picker shares just the item you select. You can use the built-in callers without importing anything.

Is this a personal safety app?

No. GottaBounce is for entertainment and rehearsal, not emergencies or personal protection. Keep the joke kind: never use it to frighten, harass, defraud, impersonate, or fabricate evidence.

Where can I install it?

We're preparing the public iPhone release. There isn't a public App Store download or open TestFlight invitation linked here yet. This page will link directly to the verified install page when it's available. No signup required.
