BlueWallet
Best for: Simple on-chain mobile + watch-only
Long-running open-source mobile wallet for on-chain Bitcoin — multiple wallets, watch-only support, PSBT signing with hardware wallets.
BlueWallet is a long-running open-source mobile wallet for on-chain Bitcoin, with multiple wallets, watch-only support and PSBT signing alongside hardware wallets. It has been a default recommendation for simple mobile Bitcoin for years.
Its strength is straightforward on-chain use and acting as a companion to a hardware wallet via watch-only and PSBTs. Lightning support has shifted over time, so treat it primarily as a solid on-chain and watch-only wallet rather than a Lightning-first one.
