It was developed by Bending Spoons and released by the Italian Ministry of Health on 1 June 2020. After a testing phase in 4 Italian regions (Abruzzo, Apulia, Liguria, Marche), the app started being active in the whole country on 15 June.[2] The app was initially release on App Store and Google Play, and since 1 February 2021 it is available on the Huawei AppGallery as well.
The source code was published on GitHub on the 25 May.[3] The app only works in Italy, but compatibility with other European contact tracing apps was a goal.[4] Since 19 October 2020 the app supports key-exchanges with the EU Interoperability Gateway and is therefore able to communicate with contact tracing apps of other EU countries.
As of 16th December 2020, the app was downloaded more than 10 million times.[5]
