# Features
This app helps you to better understand warnings of the official Corona-Warn-App.

**ATTENTION:** THE APP REQUIRES ROOT PERMISSIONS. Without root permissions, only a demo mode is possible that cannot access your risk encounters.

### What the app does:
1. The app reads the Rolling Proximity IDs recorded by your device from the Exposure Notifications database (this is only possible with root permissions, which is why the official Corona-Warn-App cannot display these details).
![-Example Recorded Encounters-](file:///android_asset/rpis_en.png)
2. The app downloads the Diagnosis Keys from the official Corona-Warn-Server. It downloads the keys published daily for the last few days and the keys published every hour for today. Therefore, different information than in the official Corona-Warn-App might be displayed.

3. The app compares both in order to find matches (risk encounters).
![-Example Matches-](file:///android_asset/matches_en.png)

If risk encounters are found, it shows the details:
At which times and with which radio attenuation (roughly corresponds to the distance) did the encounters take place, and what level of transmission risk did the encounter have.
![-Example Details-](file:///android_asset/details_en.png)
Note that 1 means a low and 8 means a high transmission risk.

### What the app does not do:
- The app does not process any personal data.
- The app only accesses the internet for the purpose 2 (see above), i.e. it only downloads data from the official Corona-Warn-Server and does not send any data to other servers.
- The app does not show any advertising.

**Note:** This app has only been tested on a few devices so far, so it is possible that it will not work and/or show incorrect results.

# Open Source
The source code of the app is published at https://github.com/mh-/corona-warn-companion-android, so you can check the source code, build the app yourself, and you are also welcome to contribute to improvements.

# Other
- The app is used for private purposes only, it is not used for any business purposes.
- The app is not a "hacking tool". It only reads data from the memory of your own device, which is stored there without additional encryption.
