Gordian Seed Tool allows you to securely store your cryptographic seeds on your closely held mobile device, protecting them with Apple's well-trusted encryption and your own biometrics. [2/11]

This builds on the core concept of airgaps. By separating your seeds from the network, you can depend on the physical and cryptographic security of your device, rather than using a porous, networked computer prone to network attacks. [3/11]

But how do you use your seeds? Seed Tool makes it easy. You can derive popular keys for Bitcoin or Ethereum, and then export those rather than your seed itself. In particular Seed Tool is useful for keys used in multisig.[4/11]

Seed Tool can even answer requests from other apps for specific derivations, creating a whole web of airgapped crypto-apps, all carefully partitioned and individually protected, to maximize your security. [5/11]

Seed Tool supplements its security with resilience. Your seeds are encrypted and backed up to iCloud, ensuring that if you lose your mobile device, you can recover your seeds — and our experience is that loss of this type is the biggest threat to your crypto holdings. [6/11]
