Why ARX keeps privacy out of the default wallet screen

I built ARX around a hard separation.
Simple opens into ordinary self-custody: balances, receiving, reviewed sends, swaps, custom EVM networks and WalletConnect across 25 built-in networks.
Privacy is a separate opt-in profile for proxy-enforced connections, separate Main and Anonymous identities, a permanent RAILGUN 0zk identity, Monero, and transparent or shielded Zcash.
The split is deliberate. Someone who only wants a clean desktop wallet should not have to understand a privacy protocol before receiving BTC. Someone who does want privacy should get an environment that treats network identity and recovery boundaries seriously.

If you use a Windows wallet, which boundary would you choose: a separate mode, one combined interface, or two separate apps?

I built ARX: clean self-custody with a separate privacy mode

Most Windows wallets make you choose between beginner simplicity and serious privacy, or put every chain and protocol into the same interface. I built ARX as one open-source, fully local app with two deliberately separate profiles.
Simple is for everyday self-custody: BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC, SOL and BNB; network-aware receiving; reviewed sends; swaps; custom EVM networks; and WalletConnect across 25 built-in networks.
Privacy stays out of the way until you choose it. It adds proxy-enforced connections, separate Main and Anonymous identities, a permanent RAILGUN 0zk identity, native Monero, and shielded or unshielded Zcash.
The goal is to make self-custody feel cleaner than leaving assets on an exchange without forcing people to learn privacy protocols before they can receive a coin.

ARX launches on Product Hunt tomorrow. I am looking for one blunt Windows user to tell me which first screen or term creates hesitation.

ARX - Clean self-custody with a separate privacy mode

ARX is an open-source, fully local Windows wallet built around two profiles. Simple keeps everyday self-custody clean across 25 networks, swaps, custom EVM networks and WalletConnect. Privacy keeps advanced tools separate with proxy-enforced connections, distinct identities, RAILGUN 0zk, Monero and shielded Zcash.
