Sparrow

Best for: Hardware-wallet companion & power users

The desktop wallet for people who want to see everything: coin control, PSBTs, multisig, full hardware-wallet support, connects to your own node.

Sparrow is a desktop wallet for people who want to see and control everything: coin control, PSBTs, multisig, full hardware-wallet support, and a direct connection to your own node or an Electrum server. It surfaces the details other wallets hide.

It is the standard companion for hardware wallets and a favourite of privacy-conscious and advanced users. It is on-chain focused and desktop-only, so it is less about everyday spending and more about managing a stack carefully — which it does about as well as anything.
