BlueWallet for Desktop is out on the mac store 

This is the first Bitcoin-only wallet available on the mac store for millions of users. And, a huge effort from the team to bring to the Bitcoin community our first desktop product.

Check it out here

It is kind of a big deal. With a desktop product, we can start to think about things mobile doesn’t really allow us to do, like shipping a wallet with a full bitcoin node, and all the privacy gains that comes with it. Which I bet some of you will appreciate.

For now it is only available for macOS, but we expect to increase the compatibility with other platforms as we go.

Let’s see what we can do from start with it, shall we.

HWW integration
Easily connect to your hardware wallet through watch-only and PSBTs support.

Plausible Deniability
Create multiple storages or fake ones in case of a forced disclosure.

Multiple Wallets
Support for different wallet types. Like Bip84/49/44, electrum, legacy, etc.

Full node
Full node connection through ElectrumX, Electrs or Electrum Personal Server.

Transactions control
Easily Batch, Bump or Cancel transactions. With RBF and CPFP.

Notifications
With push notifications for pending and confirmed transactions.

And many other features available right from the start.

Give it a try, send feedback. Let’s build the revolution together :)

We are a Bitcoin collective of developers and designers trying to help on how to bring Bitcoin to the people and the people to Bitcoin. Through beautifully crafted open source software.
