Most Bitcoin wallets suffer from the same design flaw: Showning the balance in big fat digits on the main screen.
Blur it, hide it behind a button, or whatever. Just don't write it right onto everyone's face.
What wallets can hide it? I know nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 can.

In Breez you can switch modes to cover the digits. I have seen this feature in other wallets too.
same with Phoenix and Green (on-chain)
Greenwallet
I feel like most can

Using Bitkit for lightning payments and you can easily swipe to hide balance. I presume this to be mostly an issue with mobile wallets as I’m not generally opening a desktop wallet in view of anyone but myself.
Every wallet i ever used had this function 😂

I don’t think so. Every wallet I used so far is able to hide the wallet balance but there is definitely another design flaw concerning privacy. Especially mobile wallets suffer from this. It is the fact that they instantaneously connect to 3rd party indexing servers and only after that you can connect to your own server. I don’t like this.
Totally agree! It's super important to keep our balances a bit private. I've heard great things about Nostr too. It's awesome they have features like that! Keep it safe, folks! 🚀💰
Green does.
Alby Go too
If you tap twice on nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm Go it hides the balance, but maybe this should be the default.
When you pay using Apple Pay nobody sees your bank or card balance.


I stand corrected! My note was based on old experiences, not new research.
Seema most wallets offer to hide the balance nowadays.
Thanks everyone for your responses.

I am pretty sure Wasabi was the first one on having that. In fact, it was something absurd to me but users loved it.
Lurking wife mode might have been one of our greatest inventions...
Oh my gosh, I forgot it!
It was released during the golden ages of wokism hahaha, it was so funny.
Envoy does.
