BlueWallet
BlueWallet
BlueWallet is an open-source Bitcoin and Lightning wallet for iOS and Android (with desktop builds for Windows and macOS), built for ease of use. It supports HD SegWit wallets, the Lightning Network, Replace-By-Fee, full encryption and plausible deniability. It works well as a companion for hardware wallets such as Coldcard thanks to PSBT support, and lets you manage multiple wallets, cold storage and multisig vaults. Keys stay on the user's device: it is non-custodial self-custody and Bitcoin-only.

Verdict
Score 4.2/5, very strong profile. In its favour: simple and fast to use on mobile; on-chain Bitcoin and Lightning in one app; PSBT and multisig support as a hardware-wallet companion. The trade-off to weigh: the simplest Lightning setup relies on LndHub (third-party custody if using an external hub); less geared to advanced privacy than specialised desktop wallets.
On the Sovereignty lens the score is 4.8/5 (outstanding): the strength is fund control (5.0/5), while privacy & anonymity (4.5/5) is the weak link.
