Initial Setup
Sign In
When you first launch SplitSecure, you’ll be prompted to authenticate. Sign in with your email or identity provider account to continue. This links the app to your account so you can join approval sets and participate in operations.
Permissions
After signing in, you’ll be prompted to grant permissions:
- Camera: Required for scanning QR codes during device pairing and approval set operations
- Notifications: Allows the app to alert you when your vote is needed on a proposal
Your device is now ready to join approval sets and participate in threshold operations.
Next Steps
How SplitSecure Works
SplitSecure has no administrators. All approval set members are equal participants:
- Any approval set member can propose operations (adding members, creating identity providers, etc.)
- All operations require a threshold of approval set members to vote in approval
- The person who initiates approval set creation is called the Dealer: they propose the initial configuration, but the approval set only forms when all founding members approve
What You Need
| Activity | What You Need |
|---|---|
| Voting on proposals | Mobile app only |
| Creating approval sets, configuring resources, accessing resources | Mobile app + Web App |
If you will create approval sets or configure identity providers:
- Continue to the Web App guide
- You’ll need to pair your mobile app with the Web App

- Wait for someone to share a QR code or lobby code
