Overview
Trezor Suite Ápp is the official application developed by SatoshiLabs to serve as the central management point for Trezor hardware wallets. Unlike custodial services that hold your keys, Trezor Suite operates as a secure companion app — it prepares transactions, shows you all relevant data, and requires on-device confirmation before any private key operation happens. This design keeps the private keys isolated in hardware while giving you a modern and convenient interface for everyday crypto needs.
Built with privacy and transparency in mind, the Suite is open-source and crafted to minimize data exposure. Network requests are limited, many operations occur locally, and you have explicit control over telemetry and Tor routing. The application supports a broad set of assets — from Bitcoin and major layer-1 tokens to many popular ERC-20 tokens and other chains through integrations — and continues to expand as the ecosystem grows.
Core Features
Unified Portfolio Dashboard
Track all your holdings in one place. The dashboard aggregates balances, provides historical performance charts, and displays a breakdown by asset class. Filtering and labels let you slice the data to analyze allocations or performance across time ranges.
Secure Transaction Signing
Transaction creation happens in Trezor Suite, but signing occurs only on your Trezor device. This guarantees that even if your computer is compromised, your private keys are never exposed. The device shows the exact transaction details for you to verify before approving.
Buy, Sell & Swap (Integrated Partners)
Trezor Suite integrates with vetted on-ramps and swap providers so you can buy crypto or swap assets without leaving the app. Partners are chosen for compliance and security; Suite acts as a secure UI and the exchange executes trades without taking custody of your master keys.
Privacy Controls & Tor Support
If privacy matters to you, Suite allows optional Tor routing and minimizes telemetry to reduce metadata leakage. These features help obscure which accounts you access and where you connect from, offering stronger protections for privacy-conscious users.
Advanced Tools for Power Users
Power users can access coin control (UTXO selection for Bitcoin), customize derivation paths, create watch-only accounts for auditing, label addresses and transactions, and export signed transactions. Developers can integrate Suite into workflows using open standards and tooling for multisig and enterprise-grade operations.
Security Model & Best Practices
The security approach of Trezor Suite is purposefully simple: keep secrets isolated and require physical confirmation for critical actions. Some fundamental elements:
- Private key isolation: Keys remain on your Trezor device. Suite never imports or stores your private keys.
- On-device confirmations: The device displays transaction details for human verification before signing.
- PIN & passphrase: Use a PIN for theft-resistance; enable an optional passphrase to create additional hidden wallets (advanced users only).
- Firmware verification: Suite checks firmware signatures before updates are applied — do not accept unexpected firmware prompts.
- Open-source transparency: The codebase is public and reviewed by security researchers and the community.
“Your recovery seed is your last resort. Store it physically, ideally on durable materials, in geographically separate secure locations if your holdings are substantial.”
Practical tips: buy devices only from official channels, verify packaging and first-boot behavior, write your seed on paper (or store on a steel backup), never photograph or store the seed digitally, and keep both Suite and firmware up to date.
Get Started — Quick Setup
- Visit trezor.io/start and download Trezor Suite for your OS (Windows, macOS, Linux) or use the web app.
- Install and open Suite, connect your Trezor device with the supplied USB cable, and follow the onboarding (create new or restore existing wallet).
- Write your recovery seed exactly as displayed on the supplied card and store it offline. Consider a metal backup for durability.
- Set a PIN on the device and decide whether a passphrase is appropriate for you.
- Add accounts for the coins you want and confirm receive addresses on-device before sharing publicly.
Reminder: Suite can be used in a watch-only mode for monitoring addresses without a connected device, but signing always requires your hardware wallet.
Advanced Workflows & Integrations
For institutional users and advanced hobbyists, Suite supports multisignature architectures (when combined with compatible third-party software), air-gapped signing workflows, and integration into developer tooling. You can create auditable watch-only setups for compliance, export transaction history for accounting, or combine Suite with server-side signing strategies for team custody models.
Developers can rely on open standards and documented signing flows to integrate hardware-backed signatures into custom applications—maintaining the same security guarantees that Suite provides to end users.
FAQ — Common Questions
- Q: Can I use Suite without a Trezor device?
- A: You can set up watch-only accounts to monitor balances, but to sign and send transactions you must connect a compatible Trezor hardware wallet.
- Q: Is Trezor Suite open-source?
- A: Yes — the Suite's source code is publicly available for transparency and security audits.
- Q: My device isn't recognized — what should I try?
- A: Try a different USB cable or port, update Suite to the latest version, reboot your computer, and check permissions. If issues persist, collect logs (without revealing your seed) and contact official support.
- Q: Should I use the web app or desktop app?
- A: The desktop app offers the best privacy because it reduces metadata leakage. The web app is convenient for quick access, and pairing it with Tor improves privacy if you choose that route.
