Hive Keychain for mobile is now available in version 1.1.2 on both Android and iOS (the issue with Apple is finally resolved). It introduces an in-App browser that lets you use your dApps in a similar manner that on desktop, with the dApps issuing requests to Keychain, that will then sign the transactions upon approval.

Here's an example of logging in on PeakD:

All the major request types are already implemented, so that you can make the most of your Keychain experience on mobile :

  • Login methods
  • Generic broadcasts
  • Post / Comment
  • Vote
  • Transfer (with or without encrypted memo)
  • Hive Engine Transfer
  • Power up / down
  • Delegations
  • Proposal votes
  • Witness vote / proxy
  • Encode / Decode message
  • Sign transaction / buffer

The release was delayed by one day to add browser history management and url autocomplete features.
Hope you will enjoy it!

Some additional requests are still missing but more rarely used, and will be added soon.
Additionally, the browser will be improved with favorites and multiple tabs handling. We will also add the possibility to whitelist some requests in the future, in order to mirror the behavior that you can find on the browser extension.

Download the Apps


  1. The Application is still in Beta. It has been tested extensively but it should not by any means be the only place you store your keys on.
  2. To import accounts quickly from your Hive Keychain extension to your mobile App, use the QR Code scanner by pressing the QR code logo:

On your extension, navigate to the menu (top right button), then to Manage Accounts and finally click on Show QR Code.

Amazing as always.

Just thought of something. Why not use 2FA for the password on keychain? Instead of logging in with the same password everyday I would like an option where I can use a password that changes every 30 seconds or so. Right now I worry about my keychain password, especially when I hold liquid hive.

Thanks!
I believe you are talking about 2FA for the browser extensions?
If so, that's a great idea.
I know you're regularly checking our updates so you've probably noticed that the mobile Apps were taking all my time recently. Starting with the next proposal (should post it by tmw), I'll look into hiring an additional dev to work on the extensions, so we will be able to take care of this.

Yes, I was talking about the browser extension. Just saw the introduction post from the new dev, great news!

If so, that's a great idea.

Yeah, I would definitely feel more secure.

i would also love future implementation of fingerprint option for mobile

IOS already has fingerprint, are you on android?

Yeah but to be honest I need to go download it and test it right now

Yup you definitely to give it a try, the fingerprint/face ID auth has been there for months ^^

Writing this on the mobile browser version feels realy good👍🏻👌

I hope some new apps will rise, i think this is a nice step bringing usefull tools to mobile.

Well done! And keep the nice Work. :)

Thanks, will do ;)

I have been using the new browser all day today. It is great! Thank you for your work on this project. !LUV 1

Your wait is over ;)
But still have many nice features to come.

I’m loving the simplicity it provides. Currently using it to make this comment 🌝

Oh Wow, great news!!!!!
