Bitkey Wallet is built for people who want a clean interface with strong security defaults. Instead of surrendering control to a service, Bitkey keeps private keys on your device and uses well-established standards so your seed phrase remains portable and recoverable.
Bitkey intentionally focuses on Bitcoin workflows. We prioritize simplicity and security over multi-chain complexity so users enjoy a focused, auditable experience.
Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS (web + native builds)
Non-custodial wallet — you control the private keys
Beginners who want simple protections and advanced users who need hardware signing
Bitkey creates and stores private keys locally. Your seed phrase is generated on your device and never uploaded to the cloud. Exporting and importing follow widely used standards so you can recover with other compatible wallets if needed.
For heightened security, connect a hardware signer (Ledger, Trezor, or other compatible devices) to sign transactions offline. Use Bitkey's intuitive UI for composing transactions and delegate signing to your hardware device.
Send and receive flows are designed to minimize mistakes: clear fee selection, address memoization, QR scanning, and transaction previews reduce risks and help you move funds confidently.
Bitkey avoids telemetry, trackers, and unnecessary network calls. Where network access is required (e.g., fee estimation or address discovery), the wallet uses privacy-conscious providers and encourages connecting to your own node if desired.
The core code is open source so developers and security researchers can audit, contribute, or fork to create custom builds. Transparency builds trust — inspect the code and verify that the wallet behaves as expected.
Bitkey is intentionally lightweight: it focuses on essential Bitcoin features, keeping resource usage low so it runs smoothly on most devices.

Security depends mostly on how you handle your seed phrase and devices. Follow these practical steps:
Write your seed phrase on paper or store on a metal backup; protect it from fire, theft, and loss.
Enable hardware signing for large balances and long-term storage.
Keep your device OS and the wallet app up to date to receive security fixes.
Verify downloads using checksums or PGP signatures from official releases.
Beware phishing websites; always confirm domain names and bookmarks before entering sensitive information.
Important: If you lose your seed phrase and do not have a backup, there is no way to recover funds. Non-custodial wallets place responsibility on the user — plan and store backups accordingly.
No. Bitkey is non-custodial: private keys are generated and stored on your device. The wallet does not hold or control your funds.
Yes — Bitkey uses standardized seed formats so you can restore the same seed phrase in any compatible wallet that supports the same standards.
Bitkey is privacy oriented and avoids unnecessary telemetry. Any network requests the app makes are limited to required services such as fee suggestions or block explorers — and you can opt to use your own node for maximum privacy.
