Sidekick

Turn your old phone into a secure Bluetooth hardware wallet for Monero!

What if your old phone could act as a secure Bluetooth hardware wallet? Meet Monerujo's Sidekick - your new companion app designed to bring enhanced security to your Monero holdings without breaking the bank.

Sidekick transforms any secondary phone into a virtually air-gapped, offline storage for your private keys, pairing seamlessly with the trusted Monerujo app or other compatible mobile Monero wallets over Bluetooth. Get the security of a hardware wallet, minus the hefty price tag or supply chain risks.

Key Features:

Affordable Security: No need for expensive hardware wallets. Repurpose any old phone and keep your private keys secure. Offline Protection: Keep your Sidekick phone disconnected from the internet for added safety. Open Source Transparency: Just like Monerujo, Sidekick is fully open-source, allowing anyone to audit and verify its security. Easy to Use: Simple Bluetooth pairing between devices makes managing your Sidekick intuitive. Multiple Wallets: Each Sidekick wallet works like a separate hardware wallet, offering flexibility. Eco-Friendly: Repurpose existing tech instead of buying new devices, reducing e-waste.

Easy as 1-2-3...4:

  • Install Sidekick on your secondary phone.
  • Pair both phones via Bluetooth.
  • Create a Monero wallet on Sidekick and restore it on Monerujo.
  • Use your wallet on your primary phone while authorizing everything on Sidekick.

For Monero users seeking a balance of security, affordability, and convenience, your Sidekick is here to help.
