Secrets for Android was written by Roger Tawa of Google with some parts provided by myself (Chris Wood), and is no longer maintained or available on the Google Play Store. The orginal source code is still available on GitHub (https://github.com/rogerta/secrets-for-android).

Secrets has an interface to interchange (synchronize) its secrets with other programs using independently configurable "sync" agents, each specific to a partiuclar target program to provide any necessary data transformation. I provided the interface code in Secrets and the agent PCSecrets Sync to suppport synchronization with the desktop application PCSecrets.

PCSecrets is available on this website. PCSecrets Sync is available on the Google Play Store, as well as in APK form on this website

The version of Secrets provided here is built from the GitHub version with the sole intention of continuing to make available the PCSecrets<>Secrets for Android cross-platform facility. Source code changes are published under the same Apache 2.0 open source licence.

Modifications

Small changes have been made to the original source code on GitHub. These are:

two fixes to the sync interface code that never made it to the released version
required changes to the Android manifest to allow the permission to access storage to be requested correctly. This was a required change for Android 12+ (API level 31)
update to the displayed copyright message, to reflect these changes

The Sync function is the primary purpose of this version. Other functions of Secrets have not changed (Backup, Restore, Import & Export) but have not been tested.

Usage

Helpful information on how to use Secrets can be found on the orginal GitHub page mentioned above.

Full instructions for using PCSecrets with Secrets can be found in the PCSecrets documentation at https://pcsecrets.sourceforge.net/
