Cake Wallet Arrives on Desktop!

February 24, 2023 · 2 min read

We are extremely excited to announce that Cake Wallet is now available on Apple Silicon (M1/M2) Macs as a beta version, with Linux and Windows to come shortly!

Over the years, we have built a user-friendly wallet, and we are happy to bring our open-source, noncustodial Flutter app to desktop for the first time!

If you have an M1/M2 Mac and want to help us test, please join our TestFlight and our chat room to send us feedback!

Features

This first release has rough feature parity with the mobile app, including:

Send and receive Monero, Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Haven!
Exchange using the best rate automatically!
Use Cake Pay Mobile (looks like we need a new name!) for USA gift cards.
Save contacts in the Address Book.
Restore mobile backups on desktop, and vice versa.
Easily switch between different wallets with their own seeds.
Optionally select a manual remote node.
Full Monero subaddress and account support

Ultimately, we build easy-to-use wallet software, with advanced features available for those who need them!

Planned features

This is just our first release, and we have a lot of features to work on! Some of these planned features are:

Allow deleting wallets (not yet supported on desktop)
Allow biometric authentication (not yet supported on desktop)
Buy/Sell will be integrated better
Linux and Windows support (including Tails)
Coin price chart screens
News screens
Background syncing
Advanced security/hardware features
More secret stuff :)

Thanks for using Cake Wallet!
