TBA Vault Watcher
TBA Vault Watcher is a read-only vault companion for clients of The Bitcoin Adviser. It lets you view your Bitcoin vaults (multisig wallets) on your phone—without holding private keys and without the ability to move funds. Think of it as a dashboard, not a wallet. Import your watch-only config (xpubs/descriptors) to view balances and transaction history. No private keys, no signing, no moving funds, no accounts required—local data only.
All data is stored locally on your device. No information is transmitted to The Bitcoin Adviser or any third party. Your wallet configuration, balances, addresses, and transaction history remain private and secure on your device.
Available on iPhone only.
What It Doesn't Do
TBA Vault Watcher cannot access private keys, cannot sign or broadcast transactions, and cannot move, freeze, or control your Bitcoin. It includes no cryptocurrency exchange, trading, or custody features and provides no financial services. It gives you independent, secure visibility into your Bitcoin vaults without adding security risk. Even if your phone were lost or compromised, your Bitcoin remains completely safe.
From Config to Dashboard
Your vault config contains public information only (extended public keys)—never private keys. The app derives addresses locally, checks the public Bitcoin blockchain for balances and transactions, and shows you a clear view. At no point does the app gain control over your Bitcoin.
Add your vault configuration. From your existing multisig setup (e.g. Theya or Unchained)—public info only.
The app derives addresses locally using standard Bitcoin methods, entirely on your device.
The app checks the blockchain and fetches transactions and balances from the public Bitcoin network.
You see a clear, readable view—balances, history, charts, and progress in one place.
What The App Does
All data shown in the app comes directly from the Bitcoin blockchain. With TBA Vault Watcher you can view balances across one or more vaults, see full transaction history, track stacking progress over time, view holdings in BTC and your local currency, monitor milestones, use simple planning tools for long-term projections, and optionally enable alerts (price, activity, milestones).
Add Vault Configuration
Easily add your vault by pasting your watch-only config (wallet configuration file with xpubs/descriptors). The app processes the config locally to set up monitoring for your collaborative security vault.

A single view of your Bitcoin position: total balance, vault count, transaction count, stacking rate (how fast your holdings have grown), and live Bitcoin price.
Charts & History

Your Data Stays Local
TBA Vault Watcher does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data. No account or login is required. All wallet configuration information, balances, addresses, and transaction history are stored locally on your device only.
The app does not use analytics, tracking technologies, advertising identifiers, or cloud synchronization. No data is sent to The Bitcoin Adviser or any third party.
Security on device
Sensitive data uses iOS device-level encryption. Vault configurations never leave your device. The app supports biometric unlock (Face ID / Touch ID), automatic session timeouts, and no cloud accounts or stored passwords. Same philosophy as professional Bitcoin infrastructure: observe, don't control.
Users are responsible for securing their device. Removing the app deletes all locally stored data.

Who This Is For
TBA Vault Watcher is ideal for clients who want visibility without risk, prefer self-custody over custodial apps, and like reassurance without complexity. It's especially useful for long-term holders, families and estate planning setups, and trustees or signatories who need to see vault status without having control.
The app is a companion to your existing setup with The Bitcoin Adviser. It reinforces that you retain control of your Bitcoin, no single party has unilateral power, and security comes from structure—not trust. You get confidence and clarity without changing your custody model.
In short: Read-only. Secure. Self-custody aligned. Built for Bitcoin vaults and long-term holders. Your keys stay where they belong. Your Bitcoin stays untouched. You stay informed.
