Encryption isn't reserved for one flagship app — it's applied consistently across every app in the suite that stores resident data, with the three highest-use apps also requiring a biometric unlock before they open.
By Design
The suite's offline architecture already means resident data never leaves the device. Encryption and biometric lock protect that data on the device — the scenario that matters when a phone is lost, stolen, or picked up by someone who shouldn't be looking at it.
Each database is encrypted with SQLCipher, using a unique 256-bit key generated on first run and stored in the platform's hardware-backed secure storage — the Android Keystore or iOS Keychain. The key never touches the database file itself, and it's not recoverable by reading the app's files off a lost device.
Three apps — the ones used constantly, handed around during shifts, and left unlocked between uses — add a second layer: a fingerprint or face-unlock gate at launch, so even an unlocked phone doesn't hand over resident data to whoever's holding it.
The split isn't arbitrary: every app holding resident information is encrypted, full stop. Biometric lock is layered on top for the apps in constant, shared use during a shift — where the bigger risk is an unlocked phone in someone else's hands, not just a lost device.
