What's in the beta

What it can, and can't, do today.

In the beta
  • Boarding passes, event tickets, coupons, loyalty cards, and the generic ones too.
  • Walt generates multiple scannable types: QR, PDF417, Aztec, Code 128, etc. You're covered no matter what the scanner expects.
  • PDF tickets open in a sandbox, enforcing security boundaries.
  • Encrypted on your phone with a key only your phone holds.
  • Delete a pass and it's gone for good. The cache goes with it.
Not included
  • Transit cards you tap at the gate.
  • Rotating-barcode tickets like Ticketmaster SafeTix.
  • Logos and designs from original passes.
  • No "Add to Walt" button on the web yet.
How it compares

Walt Passes vs. FossWallet.

FossWallet has been the standard option for DeGooglers for years. It's served us all extremely well. We are grateful. Walt Passes shares the purpose of FossWallet and improves security in small but meaningful ways that are important for a wallet that also enables tap-to-pay.

Read the code

The pass kernel is open source.

Walt's tap-to-pay source code is closed source due to ease of audits and regulatory requirements. The Passes feature doesn't have that constraint. We've open sourced the Passes kernel to help you understand how Walt operates under the hood and build trust together.

The parser, signature verifier, storage layer, and UI composables live in their own module. Every privacy claim above maps to a specific module.
