Unfortunately now I will stick to this seed I generated few days ago on BlueWallet app, because I already made cryptosteel backup and generated 15 addresses on Tails OS.
ovcijisir, it was better to save your master public key.
Now, if you need more addresses, you will have to use your seed phrase again. Instead, you could save your master public key and generate any number of addresses you want from that without using your seed phrase.

Great I didn't know that option like this exist. For now 15 addresses that I already generated will be enough but this is good option to have in mind, thanks!

There is another interesting open source wallet app that is created to work air-gapped, and you can consider checking it out.
This is Cupcake app created to work with Bitcoin and Monero, and it can also be connected with some hardware wallets or Cake wallet:

Thanks for info! I just installed this wallet, it made no problems generating seed while offline. Only potential problem could be that ot doesn't use BIP 44 derivation path, so I'm not sure if it is compatible with other wallets.

I wanted to make the seed for long term storage and there is possibility that developers of Cake wallet stop developing this project in (far) future. That is why I wanted to use BIP 39 / BIP 44 wallet and didn't use Electrum running on Tails OS to generate seed. I wanted most standard seed that can be recreated on many different wallets. The more standard solution the less problems it will be to use the funds in 10, 20 or more years.
