Welcome to grow tracker. This is a utility app designed for gardening and tracking various parameters of your grow.
As of 2020, major version 2 of the app is in maintenance mode, meaning only critical bugs will be fixed. All further development is reserved for major version 3 of the application which will eventually replace this. Read more here
The app requires no permissions except for external storage (for caching plant data and images) which you can see here in order for users to maintain anonymity, and a minimum Android version of 4.2 and above

The app was designed with data in mind. All data is easily accessible via the app's files folder in Android/data/me.anon.grow/files/. You will need a file explorer to browse this folder, or alternatively, you can back your data up via the app settings which will create copies in backups/GrowTracker/
The structure is very simple, and consists of a few different objects.
Note: date timestamps are all unix timestamps from 1/1/1970 in milliseconds. All objects in arrays are in date order, where index 0 is the oldest and index (size - 1) is the newest.

Encryption in the app uses basic AES for encryption using a provided passphrase. If the passphrase is less than 128 bits (16 UTF-8 chars), it will be padded with 0x0 bytes. You can view the key generator method here
You can decrypt your files using your passphrase either by writing a script that uses AES decryption, or an online tool such as Online-Domain-Tools.
