Why We Recommend

Bitcoin Keeper is a fully non-custodial, open-source wallet where users maintain complete control of their private keys. The company never has access to user funds and cannot sign or authorize transactions on behalf of users.

The application code is publicly available on GitHub (bithyve/bitcoin-keeper), allowing independent security review by the community. Bitcoin Keeper provides signed checksums and detached GPG signatures for APK verification, enabling users to confirm they are running authentic, unmodified software. WalletScrutiny has included Bitcoin Keeper in their build verification efforts, indicating attention to transparency.

The wallet supports connecting to your own Bitcoin node, eliminating reliance on third-party servers for transaction verification. Multi-key vault configurations distribute signing authority across multiple devices and locations, removing single points of failure. The app is Bitcoin-only, avoiding the complexity and attack surface of multi-asset wallets.

Services & Features

  • Multisig vaults (2-of-3 to 3-of-5)
  • Hardware wallet integration
  • Inheritance planning with time-locks
  • UTXO and fee management
  • Collaborative custody tools
  • Canary wallet monitoring
