Monerujo announces first official release of Sidekick companion app

anhdres1 has announced2 the first official alpha release3 of Monerujo4’s Sidekick5 companion app earlier today, which will be supported in v4.0.66:

It was out since MoneroKon if you downloaded the apks, but now it’s been further tested, tweaked UX, and released in all our official alpha channels. Google approval pending because it’s a new app, but I guess they’ll approve soon. Let us know what you think of it if you use it!

Changes since ‘unofficial’ release

* Show restore height for easy restoring
* Update translations
* Update SDK and dependencies

The project was funded in 20227 and super alpha APKs were announced in June 20248. To learn more about Sidekick’s technical aspects, watch m2049r9’s MoneroKon24 talk10.

Note that uninstalling the app will delete your wallets on the device. Use the backup function to backup your wallets.

This is an ongoing story and the report will be updated when new information is available.
