Practical overview

When it fits

Use it when Bitcoin self-custody requires multisig coordination, hardware-wallet support or planned recovery across individuals or families.

Who it is for

  • Individuals managing Bitcoin through self-custody.
  • Families organizing shared recovery or inheritance planning.
  • Users coordinating multisig wallets with hardware wallets.
  • Developers working with an open-source TypeScript and React Native Bitcoin wallet application.

Documented uses

  • Create and manage Bitcoin multisig wallets.
  • Coordinate hardware wallets in multisig setups.
  • Plan recovery and inheritance-friendly access structures.
  • Manage BIP 85 hot wallets.
  • Use documented Bitcoin wallet functionality associated with Tor privacy and Bitcoin purchases.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository states that all features are free to use, with no subscriptions or paid tiers. It provides Android and iOS app links and a local React Native development workflow.

  • Non-custodial design means the application does not take custody of keys or funds, according to the README.
  • Multisig management and hardware-wallet support are central to the documented wallet use case.
  • Recovery planning and inheritance-friendly structures matter when access must be organized beyond a single person.
  • The project uses standard Bitcoin-wallet interoperability and avoids proprietary formats, according to the README.
  • Local development requires platform-specific React Native tooling, including Android Studio or Xcode.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Set up the Bitcoin Keeper development project

Prepare the repository and documented mobile development workflow for Android or iOS.

Before you start

  • A React Native development environment.
  • Node.js.
  • Yarn or npm.
  • Android Studio for Android builds.
  • Xcode for iOS builds.

Steps

  1. Clone the Bitcoin Keeper repository and enter its project directory.

  2. Install dependencies with yarn install; the README states that preparation scripts install pods and modify crypto-related React Native packages.

  3. Start Metro with yarn start.

  4. For Android, use yarn androidDevelopmentDebug or yarn androidProductionDebug; for iOS, use the documented development or production scheme commands.

Expected outcome

A locally prepared Bitcoin Keeper development workflow with documented Android and iOS development or production variants.

Guide limitations

  • The README documents setup and launch commands but does not establish that every device, emulator or local environment will work without further configuration.
  • The development variant uses testnet and the production variant uses mainnet.
