How to download Lite Wallet in 2026
Every platform, signed binaries. Here's the clean step-by-step for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.
Lite Wallet v3.16.0 is available for download at litewallet.dev on Windows (.exe installer), macOS (.dmg disk image), Linux (.zip portable archive), iOS (App Store), and Android (Google Play). All binaries are code-signed by the Lite Wallet organization. This guide walks through downloading, verifying, and installing on every platform in 2026.
Windows
Download LiteWallet-Setup-v3.16.0.exe from the Windows button on /download. SmartScreen may warn on first launch — the signature publisher should read 'Lite Wallet'. If it doesn't, you downloaded from a fake mirror; return to litewallet.dev and retry. Double-click the installer, follow the prompts, launch the app. Lite Wallet is typically installed to `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\LiteWallet`.
macOS
Download LiteWallet-v3.16.0.dmg from the macOS button. Double-click to mount the disk image. Drag LiteWallet.app to your Applications folder. First launch: right-click LiteWallet.app, select Open, confirm the Gatekeeper prompt. Lite Wallet is notarized with Apple — if Gatekeeper still blocks, verify you're running macOS 12 or later (minimum supported version).
Linux
Download LiteWallet-v3.16.0.zip from the Linux button. Extract: `unzip LiteWallet-v3.16.0.zip`. Make the binary executable: `chmod +x LiteWallet`. Launch: `./LiteWallet` or double-click in your file manager. Tested on Ubuntu 22.04+, Debian 12+, Fedora 38+, and Arch. Requires: GTK 3.24+, OpenSSL 3, libsecret. Most Linux desktop installs have these by default.
iOS and Android
iOS: open the App Store and search 'Lite Wallet', or tap the iOS button on /download which deep-links to the App Store listing. Publisher is the Lite Wallet organization. Minimum iOS 16. Android: Google Play search 'Lite Wallet' or tap the Android button on /download. Verify the developer name before installing — there are imitator wallets with similar names. Minimum Android 10.
Verify publisher signature (desktop)
Before installing, verify the publisher signature on the file. On Windows, right-click the .exe → Properties → Digital Signatures and confirm the signer is the Lite Wallet organization. On macOS, the .dmg is Apple-notarized and Gatekeeper will reject tampered builds. If the signature is invalid or missing, do not install — redownload from litewallet.dev.
First run
Launch LiteWallet. Choose 'Create new wallet' (new users) or 'Restore from paper key' (returning users). Creating new: Lite Wallet generates a 12-word paper key. Write it down on physical paper. Do not photograph, screenshot, or type into any digital device. Verify the words in the order shown. Set a device password or biometric unlock. You now have a functional Litecoin wallet. See /guides/how-to-backup for paper key discipline and /guides/how-to-send for your first transaction.
