One app, your doorway to the whole platform
Home is the one app you open to use Qortium. Your account, the network, and everything people publish on it all live in one place — nothing extra to install or piece together.
What it does
Your wallet, your keys
- Encrypted wallet backups on desktop and Android.
- Hold several addresses in one wallet.
- Import a private key to make a password-protected wallet.
- Your password is only asked for when your key is actually needed to sign something — reading, browsing, and watching never prompt for it.
- Locked by default — your key stays encrypted until the moment it is used, and locks again when you step away.
Connect to the network
Open Home and it can put you on the network straight away, through a public network of nodes. When you're ready, Home can set up and run your own node for you — which strengthens the network and lets you mint to earn a say in it. Run your own node.
If your router blocks incoming connections, Qortium can route through I2P so you can still find peers — and you can choose to hide your IP address entirely. How connecting works.
Running your own node, Home can also install and manage the I2P router for it — pick Direct + I2P, Direct only, or I2P only, right from Settings.
Open what people publish
Open what's published just by name, with viewers built right in: Markdown and HTML pages, PDFs and EPUBs, comics, ZIP and RAR archives, git repository file trees, code, CSV, and JSON, plus images and other media.
Browse in tabs
Move between everything in tabs, and give each tab its own signed-in account — so you can use several accounts at once, with no need to run multiple copies of the app.
Bookmark what matters
Save bookmarks in folders, pin things to your dashboard, and set start pages — so the things you use most are one click away.
Good to know
You approve everything
Home never acts for an app without asking. Apps can ask Home for things like reading account data, showing or submitting ratings, or publishing to the network — Home shows you exactly what's being asked and only goes ahead once you approve. Signing always stays inside Home.
Works with Qortal too
Qortium shares its roots with Qortal, so Home can also open selected public Qortal apps, content, and data — reading posts, checking names and status, and sending QORT, all through a public Qortal node. Qortium and Qortal stay separate networks; direct Qortal-network connectivity isn't part of Home yet.
Chat is a separate app
Messaging lives in its own app that runs inside Home. See Qortium Chat.
