chikun is the best way to track your cryptocurrency balances on your iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch, with a simple interface that's easy on the eyes. All coin quantity and price total data is stored on your device and never transmitted back to our servers, and the sum total of all of your coin values is always visible at the top of the screen. You can also double tap your total to activate "private" mode on device and watch. The number of alt-coins and tokens grows every day, but chikun always provides an up-to-date list of the top 800 coins and allows you to toggle which coins to use to calculate individual and total USD value on the main screen. You can also tap on a coin in the coin select screen to view more information like percent change, total market cap, and rank. Arise, chikun.

About

Trustless

Read full description

Trustless is a fully open-source, non-custodial, privacy-focused, Bitcoin-only mobile wallet. It is very minimalist and easy to use, yet very functional. Main features: Bitcoin wallet: Import or create new wallets, track balances, send and receive Bitcoin. Trustless also supports public key imports for watch-only wallets. Lightning: Instant Bitcoin payments. Top-up your lightning balance from your on-chain wallet or withdraw the funds back. NFC tap-to-pay functionality included. Your keys are never shared with the liquidity provider, but withdrawing your Lightning balance does require the provider's servers to be online and cooperate in the transaction. BTC Map: Find local and global shops that accept Bitcoin and Lightning payments directly within the app. PSBTs: Build transactions in the app, sign them offline and import back for broadcasting. Balance breakdown: See actual UTXOs you own by clicking on your total wallet balance. Coin control: Choose which UTXOs to use for a transaction. Receive address switching: Have 20 unused receive addresses at all times to choose from. This is a privacy feature, because address reuse links payments together. Change address management: To protect user's privacy even more, all change addresses are automatically derived from 1/n chain and are never reused for receiving. In tandem with the previous feature, Trustless makes it drastically harder to link and track user's BTC. Custom node and network: Connect to your own node via Electrum for maximum privacy. Testnet support: Use test Bitcoin network for transaction testing / development.
