Arqma Wallet runs on every major platform

Pick the platform that fits how you actually live. The wallet is the same wallet underneath — same chain, same seed format, same security model.

Arqma Wallet — gold icosahedron vault mark

Available platforms

  • Windows — full desktop client with local node support. Install guide.
  • macOS — same feature set as the Windows build. Install guide.
  • Linux — first-class build, often used for self-hosted nodes. Install guide.
  • Android — mobile wallet for daily send/receive. Setup guide.
  • iOS — mobile wallet where available on the App Store.

Every binary is published on the official Arqma Wallet download page with SHA-256 checksums.

Pick by use case

  • Daily spending and balance checks: mobile.
  • Larger holdings, you want to run your own node: desktop (Linux or Windows).
  • Setting up a cold/offline savings wallet: desktop on a clean machine.
  • Always-on home node: Linux on a small server or NAS.

Same wallet across devices

One seed phrase recovers the same wallet on any platform. Many users run a savings wallet on desktop and a watch-only or small spending wallet on mobile, all derived from one master seed. See device switching and multiple wallets.

What’s different per platform

  • Desktop can run a local node; mobile always uses a remote node.
  • Mobile is tuned for speed and battery; desktop exposes more advanced settings.
  • Backup mechanics are the same everywhere: 25-word seed on paper, plus optionally a .keys file backup.

What stays the same

  • The Arqma chain and address format.
  • The 25-word seed phrase.
  • The self-custodial model: you hold the keys, on every platform.
What goes wrong elsewhere

The cost of not owning a wallet that follows you

Custodial mobile apps and browser extensions don't move with you — they're tied to one device, one login, one phone number that can be SIM-swapped. Arqma Wallet runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS from the same seed.

  • $2.2Bstolen from crypto services and custodial wallets in 2024 alone (Chainalysis). Almost none of it was held in self-custodial wallets like Arqma.
  • #1cause of consumer crypto losses, year after year, is a fake wallet or cloned download page — not a protocol exploit. The official build is the fix.
  • 25words is all you need to restore an Arqma Wallet on any device, in under five minutes. No support ticket, no waiting on a custodian to respond.
  • $5.6Breported lost to crypto investment fraud in the US in 2023 (FBI IC3). Nearly all of it sat in third-party accounts the victim didn’t actually control.
