Practical overview
When it fits
Use FullyNoded when you want a mobile Bitcoin wallet connected to a node you operate, or need its documented PSBT and offline-signing workflow.
Who it is for
- Bitcoin users who operate a Bitcoin Core node and want a mobile wallet interface connected to it.
- Users who need PSBT-based offline signing or manage descriptor-based wallets.
Documented uses
- Interact with a Bitcoin Core node through an iOS wallet.
- Access wallets already hosted on the connected node.
- Use PSBT workflows and sign transactions locally while offline.
- Manage wallet configurations using output descriptors, including multisig, miniscript, SegWit and Taproot.
Requirements & limits
The project links to an iOS App Store listing. It also documents a separate Mac server download and a source-build route using Xcode and CocoaPods.
- A Bitcoin Core node is central to the wallet’s stated backend model.
- Tor is documented for node connections, with localhost and LAN also noted.
- The app supports PSBTs and descriptors; the repository identifies Swift as its primary language and GPL-3.0 as its license.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Prepare the iOS app from its source repository
Open the FullyNoded project in Xcode and start the app from the development workspace.
Before you start
- Xcode
- The FullyNoded GitHub repository
- CocoaPods, used for the documented dependency update
Steps
Clone the FullyNoded repository.
Change into the FullyNoded project directory.
