Wow, it's pretty wild they didn't even attempt to encrypt or protect this data, even if it is local to your machine. What a treasure trove for malware to sift through.
It IS encrypted. Not well, but it's encrypted.
Is it? I skimmed the GitHub source code and couldn't see anything involving encryption, but it's totally possible I missed something. Perhaps just accessing the database from python is enough to decrypt it.
