Bitkey is the safe, simple, and secure way to own and manage your bitcoin. It's a mobile app, hardware device, and a set of recovery tools all in one wallet. Bitkey is a 2-of-3 multi-signature wallet which means there are three private keys protecting your bitcoin. You always need two out of three keys to sign a transaction, giving you extra protection. If you hold bitcoin with an exchange, you don't control it. With Bitkey, you hold the private keys and control your money. Recovery Bitkey recovery tools help you recover your bitcoin if you lose your phone, hardware, or both, without needing a seed phrase. Device verification Verification on your Bitkey device provides an additional layer of security for confirming transfers and critical settings. Privacy Keep your balance and transactions private, with protections to ensure that everyone else — from onlookers to our servers — stays in the dark. Inheritance Put an inheritance plan in place for your bitcoin, with a process that’s simple to set up and secure by design.

Gratify works out the tip, splits the bill, and tells everyone what they owe, in a few taps at the table. TIP IN A SECOND Drag the dial to any tip from 0 to 30 percent, or tap 15, 18 or 20. Add the tax, choose whether to tip before or after it, and round the total to the dollar. Tap the total to see the bill, tax, tip and total together, ready to write on the receipt. SPLIT IT YOUR WAY Split evenly with one tap, or split by item: add the people, add what each person had, and tap a name on each item. Shared plates divide evenly, and tax and tip are shared in proportion to what everyone ordered. Start from the items alone and the bill fills in from them. WHO OWES WHAT See each person's share at a glance, with a color for everyone and a bar showing how the bill splits. Mark who paid, open anyone's breakdown to see every item they had, and send each person their share in Messages. SCAN THE RECEIPT With Gratify Pro, scan a paper receipt or pick a photo. It's read on your phone, not on a server. Gratify adds the items, the subtotal and the tax, then walks you through assigning each item. Missed the tip or misread the tax? Change it from the split. AND MORE • History of every bill you split, with who paid • Saved groups for the people you eat with most • A tipping guide for 50 countries when you travel • Widgets, a Live Activity, Control Center, Siri and Shortcuts • A quick tip calculator on Apple Watch • iCloud sync across your devices with Gratify Pro GRATIFY PRO One payment, no subscription. Pro unlocks receipt scanning, your full bill history with receipts, saved groups, iCloud sync, and five more colors and eight more app icons to make Gratify yours. Try any color before you buy. Tipping, splitting and sharing are always free. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no ads, no tracking. Your bills stay on your device, and in your own private iCloud if you turn on sync.
