What it does
Monerujo is a free Android XMR wallet with custom-node connections, Street Mode for hiding balances and a file-backup process that can preserve transaction notes when moving phones.
Street Mode hides balances and previous transactions while you use Monerujo in public. The wallet also exposes its node choice, the computer supplying blockchain data to the phone. It is free software with Apache-licensed source; blockchain payments and optional exchange services still have their own costs.
The Node display above the wallet list identifies the next connection. The search control discovers public nodes, while Add Node accepts a server you choose yourself. Bookmark a usable node before returning to the wallet. Selecting the fastest response is a convenience measure, not a guarantee about the operator.
To create a wallet, press the main-screen plus button and choose Create new wallet. Give it a name and password, choose whether to allow fingerprint access and finish creation. Save the mnemonic seed from the details screen. These are local wallet credentials, not an account held by Monerujo. A 25-word wallet can be recovered through Restore wallet 25 word seed; use a restore date preceding its creation so the scan does not miss early payments.
Moving the wallet files can preserve more than seed restoration alone. The cache contains transaction notes, labels and the latest synchronization checkpoint. Before exporting, record the long Wallet Files Restore Password from the secrets screen. Then use Backup in the wallet options to create the ZIP.
On the new phone, choose Import wallet from the plus menu and use that long restore password. Your old everyday unlocking password is not the one needed for this move. After choosing a new everyday password, record the newly generated restore password as well. Keep the seed separately: neither Street Mode nor an encrypted file can compensate for lost recovery information.
Sidekick and Ledger provide additional signing arrangements, while the homepage names Exolix for swaps. Those options have their own device or provider requirements; basic Android wallet access does not establish universal exchange eligibility.
Strengths
- Street Mode conceals balances and past transactions on screen
- Public-node discovery and manual node entry are available
- File migration can retain labels, notes and synchronization progress
Watch out for
- File migration requires the separate Wallet Files Restore Password
- Changing the everyday password also changes the long restore password
- Node discovery does not verify the operator’s trustworthiness
Best for
- Android users who want direct control over Monero node connections
- People moving an XMR wallet while retaining local transaction notes
