About the app

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

Note that this is not a guaranteed form of protection from law enforcement agencies.

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.
