Continue to About ↓- What it does
- BlueWallet is a free, open-source, self-custody Bitcoin wallet app for iOS, Android and macOS that generates and stores private keys on the user's own device rather than with a custodian.
More detail
- It covers on-chain sending and receiving, watch-only monitoring, multisig vaults, hardware-wallet coordination via PSBT, and optional Lightning payments through a user-run LNDhub.
- Best for
- Bitcoin holders who want to hold their own keys and control transaction fees, and who use watch-only, multisig or PSBT-compatible hardware wallets as part of their storage setup.
More detail
- Privacy-focused users who want coin control, Payjoin, payment codes and the option to connect their own node.
- Pricing
- The app is free and open-source software; no subscription, licence or in-app purchase price is listed.
More detail
- BlueWallet discloses no platform fees, commissions, spreads or minimums, and the project's revenue model is not itemised — the site asks for donations and contributions.
- Users pay their own Bitcoin
- Main limitation
- People who want a managed account with recovery, 2FA or customer support to restore lost access — with self-custody, a lost seed means lost funds.
More detail
- Beginners wanting simple one-tap spending, holders of non-Bitcoin assets, and anyone expecting built-in Lightning without running their own node.

About
- BlueWallet is a free, open-source, self-custody Bitcoin wallet app for iOS, Android and macOS that generates and stores private keys on the user's own device rather than with a custodian.
- It covers on-chain sending and receiving, watch-only monitoring, multisig vaults, hardware-wallet coordination via PSBT, and optional Lightning payments through a user-run LNDhub.
What it helps with
- Third-party custody risk: keys are generated and kept on the user's device and never held by BlueWallet.
- Unpredictable or high transaction fees, addressed with RBF and CPFP speed-up/cancel plus batch transactions.
- Large-amount storage security, addressed with multisig vaults requiring multiple keys to spend.
- Monitoring cold storage without exposing private keys, addressed with watch-only wallets via address, xpub or ypub.
- Wallet-address reuse and chain analysis, addressed with fresh addresses, Payjoin, BIP47 payment codes and own-node conne
- Coerced disclosure of wallet access, addressed with plausible deniability (a decoy wallet unlocked by a separate passwor
