Biscuit 1.0.6
Biscuit 1.0.6 is out, and this time it runs on Macs too. Download it for macOS, Windows or Linux. If you already use Biscuit, it will offer you the update.
macOS
There are two downloads, one for Apple Silicon (M1 and later) and one for Intel Macs, both for macOS 14 Sonoma or later. It’s the same Biscuit as everywhere else, Tor and atomic swaps included, in a single app you drag to Applications.
Biscuit isn’t notarized by Apple. That would take a paid developer account in someone’s name, and we’d rather not tie releases to one. So the first time you open it, macOS says it can’t check the app. Installation shows how to allow it in System Settings. It takes a minute, and you only do it once.
Bitcoin and Litecoin addresses
Receive still moves to a new address after each payment, but you’re no longer stuck with the one it shows:
- New address gives you another unused one whenever you want.
- All addresses… lists every address of the wallet, with its payments and balance, so the old ones are easy to find again.
- Keep this address after payments, off by default, if you’d rather give out the same address every time.
We also fixed the address jumping back to an old one for a moment while the wallet was syncing.
And the rest
- Bitcoin and Litecoin wallets you added can now show their seed: right-click the wallet, or use the seed button in the status bar. You can rename any of them too, the first one included.
- Clicking the balance in the status bar used to show Monero only. It now shows every coin and wallet, with what each one is worth.
- Prices show up as soon as Biscuit opens, instead of up to a minute later.
- While an atomic swap is using your Bitcoin, Biscuit won’t let another payment spend from that wallet, and it warns you if you try to close it with Bitcoin still locked in the swap.
As always, please verify your download before you install it.
