This is a fork of CWA without proprietary dependencies. While the German Corona Warn App itself is Free Software, it depends on Google’s proprietary Exposure Notification Framework. This fork instead uses the drop-in compatible microg implementation.
For contact tracing, it collects short-lived IDs via bluetooth and broadcasts its own. In case of an infection, it allows to upload ones own IDs to a server using a TAN, allowing contacts to notice a match with their collected IDs and to be notified. All that happens without storing more data than necessary.
