Shrodinger's closed-source non-custodial wallet.
If the wallet is closed-source, you can't know if it's non-custodial or custodial. You must therefore assume it is both.

And the replies:
You must assume it is custodial since for all intents and purposes it is.Even open-source non-custodial wallets that are not deterministically verifiable are effectively closed-source and thus, custodial.

That's why @WalletScrutiny is so important. Even though their standards are high, they are nevertheless the bare minimum.

Too much noise around this obscure "service". What about https://bitcoinbinary.org/ ? What about who scrutinize the scrutinizers?
I don't consider a "must use" this walletscrutinity. They do a lot of shitcoining to have a red flag about their "services".
I go for more simple rules when I choose a wallet.
  • bitcoin only. No excuse for shitcoins
  • is it listed on bitcoin.org?
  • is it FOSS with repository on github?
  • is it providing apk direct download from github? That means no google services involved required.
  • do they have support answering to request in a decent time?
  • do they have more devs verifying the code?
  • test it and see for yourself what features and how it works. Restore funds check the procedures, try to restore it in other apps. If you know how bitcoin works you will know if is a good app or garbage.
But people today are retarded. They just follow " influencers" like NPCs.

But people wanted to use closed-source software from a random company
