Hi! I am the developer of Una, a privacy first planner for families, households and couples. It is live on iPhone with a few hundred households using it daily, and now I am finishing the Android version.

Google requires 12 testers for 14 days before a new app can go to production, so here I am :)

Short version of why I built it: as family life gets busier it gets hard to keep track between different apps and text messages. My own household tried many different family organizers and I was flabbergasted by how many of them never say how your info is stored. You trust some of your most valuable information to these apps and expect them to handle it delicate.

So Una is privacy first. Household content is encrypted on your device before it syncs, and only you can decrypt it. We technically see nothing.

The app itself connects the context around each plan. Link a recipe note to dinner, a travel checklist to a trip, or school documents directly to the calendar event where you need them. No more digging through messages, mails and separate apps.

If you want in on the Android test you can apply on unafamily.app. All feedback welcome, also the brutal kind :)

You may want to consider splitting out the back end or the sync/encryption parts into a library that you open source, which would give a bit more trust that you have actually done the right things.

    Absolutely, the Android community has been a lot more vocal about this. I actually had it on an old roadmap back when the iOS client was created, but I have not really caught up on it since the feature list was not 'finished' until last month. But hearing that this many people want that transparency, I would gladly bump it and will work on it as soon as the bugs are ironed out and Android is fully out. I admire people who are cautious, I work with security as my day job myself and would act the exact same way.
