Bob Wallet

Bob Wallet is a graphical desktop wallet for Handshake, a decentralized naming system. The kyokan-bob Homebrew cask installs the Bob.app application on macOS. The official site describes Bob as lightweight by default and says it uses SPV mode; it also presents Bob as a way to manage Handshake names without using Shakedex command-line tools.

The official site describes these capabilities:

• Browse, buy, hold, and manage Handshake names, including through an in-wallet marketplace.
• Send, receive, and claim HNS, with transaction history for wallet activity.
• Participate in name auctions, including bidding and bid-reveal reminders.
• Manage names you own, including renewal, revocation, transfers, and DNS records.

To install, run brew install --cask kyokan-bob on macOS. The cask provides architecture-specific downloads for Apple silicon (arm64) and Intel. The official site describes Bob LearnHNS 2.3.9 as the stable desktop wallet; the available information does not establish how that offering relates to the version installed by this cask. The capabilities listed here reflect the official site’s description of Bob and should not be taken as confirmation that every feature is present in this cask version.
