What BlueWallet is

BlueWallet is a self-custody Bitcoin wallet for iOS and Android, with an .apk and a macOS build also available. Keys are generated and stored on the customer's device and never leave it; the app supports sending, receiving and storing Bitcoin, fee control (RBF and CPFP), transaction batching, coin control, Payjoin, Paycodes, and connecting to a customer's own node. It can also connect to PSBT-compatible hardware wallets such as Coldcard, Passport, Jade and Keystone, letting keys remain offline while BlueWallet handles the interface.

The wallet includes features such as multiple or hidden storages for plausible deniability, push notifications for transactions, coin labeling and freezing, offline signing for cold-wallet use, and step-by-step import/export tools for recovery phrases and wallet credentials. BlueWallet is free and open source software, described as built in public by a community, and states it originated during the 2017 fork wars to provide a Bitcoin-only wallet.
