Manage your multisig accounts on Aptos & Movement safely through a secure CLI interface.
- Install the CLI:
npm install -g @thalalabs/safely- Install Aptos CLI (if not already done):
brew update
brew install aptos- Configure your Aptos profiles (if not already done) under a folder that works for you:
cd </path/to/your/preferred/folder>
aptos init --profile <profile_name>
# or with Ledger hardware wallet
aptos init --ledger --profile <profile_name>See Aptos CLI docs for more details.
- Launch the interactive terminal UI at the same location:
safelyThe interactive mode will guide you through:
- Selecting or entering a multisig address
- Choosing your profile for signing
- Viewing pending proposals
- Voting on or executing transactions
This is the recommended way to use safely - it provides a safe, guided experience with clear transaction details and simulation results.
For advanced usage and automation, see the Subcommands section below.
Note: The interactive mode (safely without arguments) is the recommended way to interact with multisig accounts. Subcommands are provided for advanced users who need automation or scripting capabilities.

Your input helps make multisig management safer and more efficient for everyone.
In the wake of recent security incidents like the SafeWallet frontend compromise, it's become clear that web-based multisig interfaces pose significant risks. Web frontends can be modified by attackers, making transaction verification difficult or impossible for users. safely takes a different approach:
- CLI-first: No web frontend means no risk of compromised interfaces
- Verifiable: All transactions are transparent and can be inspected directly
- Local Control: All operations run locally on your machine
- Transaction Simulation: Display simulation results wherever possible
- Human-Readable: Clear transaction descriptions and parameter explanations
- Multi-Chain: Support for both Aptos and Movement
- Hardware Security: Native Ledger support
- Open Source: Community-driven development and quick iterations
