Howdy, I'm Paweł Komarnicki, creator of the Howdy app — I wanted to create a privacy-focused app that 1) keeps the data secure on the phone itself and offers privacy features like biometric lock, and 2) does NOT share anything with 3rd party, advertisers, etc.

Feel free to ask me anything, I'm looking forward to hearing from you! :-)

Nicely done. So if the app is deleted and reinstalled the data is recovered from the phone? And I’m assuming unique data would load per device correct?

Version 1.2.0 deletes the data, so it's not backed up in iCloud — the new version (1.3.0) submitted today should restore the data and sync between devices using the same iCloud account (but since it's iPhone only at the moment, it's a bit... limited). So the on-device data won't be unique, it will be per-iCloud-account unique.
