There's a screenshot on F-Droid that shows that you can set a password for the storage. However, I can't open the app directly, and the Android file manager doesn't seem to give any options to manage Anemo. Is there some other way to manage the storage that I missed? Could it be that this isn't implemented yet?
Specs, in case this helps:
Android version: One UI 3 (Android 11)
Device: Samsung Galaxy A71 5G
App version: v2.0

it looks awful compared to other parts of the app. please change this to a nicer popup

I mean change the color, round the corners

My android build system has a global "local.properies" file but no entries for androidStoreFile, androidStorePassword, androidKeyAlias, androidKeyPassword delcared in https://github.com/2bllw8/anemo/blob/main/build.gradle

As a result the app cannot be build.

As a workaround i locally commented out the affected parts in global and app build.gradle.

You can reproduce the "cannot build" if you change 'local.properties' to 'keystore.properies' in global build.gradle

Currently, After Opening The App Using Password, User Needs To Relock The App From Configuration Page.

If App Immediately Locks Itself After Closing It, User Doesn't Need To Always Manually Set Lock, Making Data Non Vulnerable To Direct Access.

I noticed I can unlock/mount Anemo by tapping the tile or icon to put in the password, but if I click Configuration - Allow Storage Access on - then click the back key it unlocks without entering a password.

I haven't gotton a chance to test it but a few times, I like the design of it but noticed it's not useful for Rooted phones and thought that may be a reason for this.
Picked up a cheap LG i never use as it has a stock rom and installed Anemo to test, Im able to bypass the password on it as well.
It seems

I assume Storage Access is what allows the files app to manage it? instead of just being able to share to it?

Keep up the nice work, even though my main/only device atm is rooted, i am keeping it installed to see the progress of it. I feel like it's a app with an original idea along with being basic/simple as it should be. I don't think it's completely useless on a rooted rom either, there's always a use for something.

Steps to reproduce

1. Copy a keepass database file (for example) into the anemo storage.

2. Access it via one of the keepass software for android
   (test with KeepassDX using the "content provider", file link type: content://exe.bbllw8.anemo.documents/document/anemo:/Documnets/ ).

3. Close Keepass, and close the Anemo storage.

4. Restart Keepass, the database stored in Anemo remains accessible and modifiable. (storage access not allowed in the options)

Expectations

Once the Anemo storage is closed, the files are no longer accessible. (file access revoked)

Reality

Relaunch Keepass, the files stored in Anemo remains accessible and modifiable.

Neat little app. Great to have a private place to keep files thats instantly accessible (doesnt need an extra password) when my phone is unlocked.

Anemo doesn't appear in the list of document provider apps when some kinds of picker intents are called. Would integrate better with other apps, and be more useful,1 if it supported all these.

The directory picker intent would be particularly useful, allowing you to keep data other apps use safely in directories in Anemo. Can test intent with - Material Files (left menu > add storage > external storage). Alternatively set a different default save path in https://github.com/Tommy-Geenexus/exif-eraser/ so you can have photos saved straight into Anemo

Other document provider apps like Nextcloud, DAVx⁵, EDS Lite etc. all show up in all picker intents

This issue overlaps with #4

hi,
would it be possible to modify the automatic locking option,
to choose (or add) a different delay.

The best would be to be able to define the delay, via a input field.

Or from preselections (1mn, 3mn, 5mn, 15mn, 30mn, 1h)

Thanks

how does this application work, because I can't open it and with that I don't see how to use it

I'm getting a toast saying that the app isn't able to detect the android file manager.
But I'm pretty sure this is a bug because I checked with a package manager, and com.google.android.documentsui (The system file app) is actually there on my phone.

• Samsung phone, OneUI 4.0
• Android 12
• Anemo version 2.1 from Izzyondroid

Steps to reproduce

Just unlock anemo with your password and navigate in the system files app to the Anemo storage

Expectations

I should be able to access my files in the anemo storage

Reality

Can't access my files, I get the message "Can't load content at the moment" see attached screenshot.
I tried force close anemo and com.android.documentsui, cleared their cache and rebooted the device with no success. Well, according to Android app settings, the files are still in the storage but I can't access them without root.
Phone is a Pixel 6, GrapheneOS, Android 12

I'll happily provide a bug report or adb logcat, sent in private, to resolve the issue.

Steps to reproduce

'Lock access after 15min' setting has been working so far, but today I see that anemo has stayed unlocked since yesterday, for no apparent reason.

Expectations

I expect anemo to keep autolocking after 15min.
Or at least if it can't, to warn the user.

Reality

anemo has stayed unlocked for a day.
Maybe anemo needs an 'unrestriced app battery usage' to be able to lock before being putnto sleep by system ? If so, it maybe added in documentation.

Seems like a good app but the main issue is that anyone with root access can see the files at /data/data/exe.bbllw8.anemo/file/anemo
Still good for normal users 👍

Can we add the ability to acces "/" and all system files?
Maybe as a setting there could be a switch to access root only stuff and when flipped, request root permission.

Is it possible to consider either making the file types importable/exportable in/from Anemo by via the Android sharing system configurable, or adding some of these file extensions to those natively recognized by Anemo for file sharing?

Thank you.

Additional information

The import system in Anemo via file sharing is very practical, and saves a lot of time, unfortunately Anemo only supports audio/video files as well as PDF files for import/export via android file sharing;

this excludes a lot of commonly used file types, such as: the various Office files ".doc" and ".docx", ".xls", ".xlsx", ".ppt" ".pptx", ". odt" ".ods" ".ott" etc...
Epub files, for example: ".epub", ".mobi", ".azw" etc...
Classic text files, for example ".txt", ".rtf"...
archive files such as ".7z", ".iso", ".rar", ".zip"
and many others very useful.

Currently, When User Wants To Re-Enable Lock, App Asks For Setting A Password.

Instead, If App Have 2 Different Sections,

1. A Switch For Enabling And Disabling Lock, Where User Is Authenticated Using the Passwors Only For Confirmation Of Disabling The Lock. This Will Preserve The Password User Previously Made For The App.

2. The Default Dialog Box Which Allows Changing The Password, The One That Is Currently Used In The App.

Additional information

No response

it would be very practical to be able to unlock the Anemo storage via the fingerprint reader.

*This makes locking more secure, as it does not limit Anemo storage security to password length (although both of which are stored securely in android keystores)

*This makes unlocking much easier and faster.

*This prevents password forgetting.

Thanks very much.

Describe what you'd like to see added to the app

Currently, Anemo uses internal private storage.
This is very useful to keep files private from mediastore and other apps with storage access peeking around.

One limitation of this choice is that it isn't taking advantage of expandable storage (like SD-cards). Internal storage is limited, and can fill up easily.

With Android 11, app specific directories on external storage are also private to the app. Inaccessible to other apps, including those with general write access.
[ref: android-11-privacy]

It would be useful to have an option in Anemo to use this external storage.
Either multiple Anemo providers, or option to select between internal memory and secondary storage.

Steps to reproduce

1. Install Anemo latest version (2.6.0) from github (through Obtainium)
2. Configure it to use biometric unlock
3. Go to phone homepage and clic on Anemo icon

Expectations

I expect to have a biometric unlock pop up.

Reality

The biometric unlock pop-up briefly appears and is instantly replaced by a transparent greyed overlay on top of the whole screen.
I have to click somewhere on the screen to make the greyed overlay disappear.
Then click again a 2nd time on Anemo icon to trigger the biometric unlock pop-up (This time it stays on screen and can be used)

I have a classic use case :
I use Anemo to store the key wallet of keepass.

So my ideal workflow would be :

1. Click (once) on Anemo icon to unlock it (with biometrics)
2. Click on keepass

What happens :
After I unlock Anemo, the file browser is launched. I have to get rid of it before accessing keepass.

Would it be possible to add a setting that prevents the file browser auto-launch ?
Thanks

now it's very white compared to everything else in the dark theme, and it's very unpleasant

I changed the popup window to darker tones (Time filter in the Polish photo editor)

Maybe you can do the same or better?

Additional

And also, this very bright popup is huge, and in the dark, especially distracting, so I suggest reducing it. Just write there "too small" or "at least 4".

Steps to reproduce

1. Open DocumentsUI "Files", navigate to Anemo content provider
2. Tap on search
3. Type something

Expectations

I expect a list of results matching any files/folders stored within Anemo.

Note: the content provider has a lot of control over the search features that are available to DocumentsUI. Other SAF-aware file managers like Material Files perform searches themselves so they should all work.

Reality

Result is just "Can't load content at the moment" and the hourglass graphic.

Would you mind adding the app to the official F-Droid repository? It'd be a great addition.

Describe what you'd like to see added to the app

Currently, even the storage close, applications with the link to the file can access it.

It would be great if we could only allow this behavior to certain applications.
I mean a "list of applications" which does not see their access to files stored in Anemo deleted once it is closed.

Thank you very much.

Additional information

Why?
it's very practical, because like that the files are untouchable, except by the desired applications, and we no longer have to open Anemo to access these files, so access is private (and it's faster), which greatly reinforces the security of these files. (and convenience of access)
