What Monerujo is
Monerujo is a free and open-source Monero wallet for Android that describes itself as the original mobile Monero wallet, dating from 2017. Features listed on its site include automatic scanning for public nodes, support for offset passphrases in addition to seeds, and an integrated swap option through the Exolix instant exchange for moving into and out of Monero. The wallet itself is self-custodial and needs no account. Swaps made through the integration are carried out by the third-party exchange and are therefore subject to that exchange's own AML and verification policy rather than to the wallet.
