Install Koberlet on iPhone

In about ten minutes you will have Koberlet on your phone and a wallet ready: a new one, or the one you already had in another app or on your computer. You do not need to know anything about crypto; every odd word is explained in the glossary.

About 10 minutes · iOS 15 or later

The app screenshots come from its test version, the one used to build it: the screens are the same as on your phone, just without the phone's top bar.

When you finish you will have

Koberlet installed on your phone.
A password that opens Koberlet on that phone.
Your wallet: a new one with its 12 words written on paper, or your existing one brought into Koberlet.

Rebuilt with the 12 words

Someone sees your 12 words? They can take your money from anywhere.

The password opens Koberlet on this phone. The 12 words rebuild your wallet anywhere. Keep both, but the ones that really matter are the 12 words.

Before you start

An iPhone with iOS 15 or later.
Pen and paper. Really: you are going to write down 12 words, and paper is the safest place for them.
If you already have a Kadena wallet and want to bring it: its 12 or 24 words at hand.

Install with TestFlight

Koberlet for iPhone is distributed through TestFlight, Apple's official free app for installing apps that are not on the App Store yet. Apple requires a registered company to publish wallets in the store; meanwhile, TestFlight is the official route, and new versions arrive by themselves.

Install TestFlight from the App Store. It is made by Apple and it is free.
Go to koberlet.dnns.es on the iPhone and scroll down to Downloads, to the iPhone card. If it has an Install with TestFlight button, tap it. If it says the link is pending, ask for an invitation in the Telegram group with the email of your Apple account: you will get a TestFlight email with the link.

When you open the link, TestFlight shows Koberlet: tap Accept and then Install. When it is done, Koberlet appears on your home screen.

The first time: the terms of use

The first thing Koberlet shows is its terms of use: what the app is and is not, and what you are responsible for. Read them, tick I have read the terms and I accept them and tap Accept and continue.
Figure 3. The terms of use, before you start.
The There is no wallet yet screen appears, with three buttons. At the top right you can switch language with ES / EN.
Figure 4. The three paths: create, bring or restore.

Is this your first wallet? Go on to A · New wallet. Already have one and want to bring it? Jump to B · Bring your wallet.

A · New wallet

Tap Create a new wallet. It asks for the wallet password: type it in Password and again in Repeat it. It needs at least 10 characters; a long sentence you can remember is better than a short word full of symbols.
Figure 5. The wallet password.
In Network for this wallet leave Kadena (KDA) and tap Create the wallet.
Figure 6. The password typed and the Kadena network selected.
Koberlet shows you your recovery phrase: 12 numbered words. Write them down on paper, in order and with their number. Check them letter by letter and tap I have written it down.
Figure 7. Your 12 words. They are covered in the screenshot; on your screen you will see them.
To make sure you wrote them down correctly, it asks for two of them by their number. Type them looking at the paper and tap Check. If you are not sure, Show them again shows them once more.
Figure 8. The check: two random words.
You are now on the Dashboard. At the top, your wallet name (My wallet) and the balance, at zero for now. Below, four buttons: Send, Receive, Bridge and Market. At the very bottom, the bar with Dashboard, DCA, Wallets and More.

From now on, every time you open Koberlet, and also when it has been idle for a while, it asks for your password: type it and tap Unlock. If you would rather use your fingerprint or face, turn it on in More → Settings → Fingerprint or face.

⚠️ The 12 words: three rules

Never take a photo of them or keep them on your phone, email, cloud or WhatsApp. Whoever gets those 12 words takes your money from anywhere in the world.
Nobody from Koberlet will ever ask for them. If someone does, it is a theft attempt, even if they say they are support.
Keep the paper where you would keep something valuable. On the phone they can be shown again in More → Security, with your password, but treat them as if you only saw them once: if you lose the phone, the paper is all you have left.

B · Bring your wallet

If you already have a Kadena wallet, on your computer, on another phone or in another app such as eckoWallet or Chainweaver, you can bring it with its 12 or 24 words. Your money does not move: Koberlet just learns to use the same keys.

On the three-button screen, tap I already have one: import it.
Figure 11. The "Import a wallet" screen.
Type your words in Seed or private key, separated by a space. Leave Kadena in Network for this wallet. In Password to encrypt it on this device put the password you will use to open Koberlet on this phone (at least 10 characters). Tap Import.
Figure 12. The words typed (covered in the screenshot) and the password.
Koberlet takes you to the Dashboard with your wallet and its balance. It may take a few seconds to read it from the network.

On the phone, Koberlet brings the main account of your words (#0). If your money is in another account of the same phrase, bring it from Koberlet on the computer, which shows them all.

If instead of words you have a private key (a string of 64 letters and numbers), paste it in the same box: Koberlet recognises it.

If you already used Koberlet and saved a backup (a .kbk file, the computer one works too), tap Restore a backup file on the three-button screen.

If something goes wrong

The TestFlight invitation does not arrive

Check your spam folder and make sure you gave the email of your Apple account, not another one. TestFlight must be installed before you open the link.

I forgot my password

Koberlet does not store it and cannot recover it. If you have your 12 words you lose nothing: you can start from scratch and bring the wallet back. Ask for help in the Telegram group and we will guide you.

I forgot to write down the 12 words

On the phone they can be shown again in More → Security, with your password. Write them on paper right now.

I brought my wallet and it shows zero

Tap Refresh on the Dashboard. If it is still zero, your money may be in another account of the same phrase (#1, #2…): bring it from Koberlet on the computer, which shows them all.

Can I have the same wallet on my phone and my computer?

Yes. Bring the same 12 words to both and you will see the same wallet and the same money on each.
