There was an official wallet developed by RippleLabs team. One hosted at https://www.rippletrade.com, and also a downloadable Desktop-Client available on their website.
However, since an incident in mid-2015, the company had withdraw their resource from developing or running any end-user-application. Source-codes of the official client are still available on github, but no longer maintained.
Most of the community members had then switched to a hosted wallet provided by Gatehub, some are still using an old-wallet downloaded before RL abandoned it.
Some member of the community had fork/cloned the official client, and make it publicly available, e.g.:
some had develop their own type of application:
I was managing a gateway on Ripple Network during 2014/15, and running some market-making bots. It's then I started picking up some coding skill and knowledge in Nodejs. When I dig into the low-level of Ripple protocol, I got interested by a lots of advanced features that are hidden from ordinary users who's using an official client.
Since 2015, I had been developing some simple GUI-tools for my own use, enabled me to construct some complex transaction easier. Later I realized that it might be better to compile them together, and make it public so that other non-techy users might have access to those feature too.
It started as a self-learning project, where I practice my newly-acquired Javascript and Angularjs knowledge. The UI is very simple but straightforward, it suit my own taste but might not be liken by others. The codes were quite messy, but I decided to published them at the end of 2015 as I was planning to take a break from crypto community. I'm glad that later a member from the community had forked it and created a more mobile-friendly version. (https://github.com/yxxyun/ripple-wallet)
About a year later (end of 2016), I had decided to resume and complete the project... After tons of debugging, and adding more functionalities, the wallet has gradually evolved into one of the most powerful client publicly available to the Ripple community.
I'll start to write a series of Guides for this Ripple-Wallet in coming days.
