Unfortunately no, but it is in the backlog. If the popularity grows, there will certainly be an iOS version

Can I backup my data?

Yes, all data can be exported to an XML file. The file can be used as a backup as it saves all of the data on the device (including all users). The file can then be imported using the import feature.
