Self‑custody, simplified

Manage crypto securely with the Trezor Suite App

Trezor Suite is a privacy‑focused desktop and mobile experience designed for anyone who prefers clear controls over their digital assets. Paired with a Trezor hardware wallet, the app makes it straightforward to verify addresses on‑device, review transactions, and organize portfolios without giving up ownership. This page is an educational overview crafted to help you understand what the Suite can do and how to use it safely.

Why people choose Suite

A balanced blend of usability and security—no trading off the fundamentals of self‑custody.

Portfolio

At‑a‑glance asset overview

Track balances, historical performance, and transaction activity across multiple accounts. The dashboard summarizes supported networks in one place so you can check progress quickly without jumping through different explorers. Powerful filters help separate long‑term holdings from testing wallets, and you can label addresses to stay organized.

Verification

On‑device address confirmation

Every receive address and critical action can be verified on your Trezor hardware wallet. This step prevents clipboard tampering and phishing because the address on the device screen—secured by the hardware—must match what you intend to use. No match, no transaction. It’s a small habit that blocks big mistakes.

Privacy

Tools that protect your context

Suite helps minimize metadata leaks. You choose how to connect: through the default backend or your own full node. Coin‑control features give fine‑grained selection of UTXOs for Bitcoin, and labeling happens locally so you keep your notes private. Privacy is a posture, not a one‑time button.

Security

Human‑centered safety rails

Clear warnings for risky fees, unknown networks, or suspicious paths reduce accidental exposure. Passphrase support adds an extra layer for advanced users, while recovery checks help you confirm that your backup phrase is written correctly—without revealing it to the computer.

Convenience

Multiple accounts, one interface

Create and label multiple accounts per network. Switch between testing, savings, and everyday wallets with a couple of clicks. Whether you’re dollar‑cost averaging or managing a long‑term stash, Suite balances clarity with speed.

Openness

Open‑source transparency

Code transparency matters. The Suite project is open‑source, which allows the community to review, audit, and contribute. Open development encourages responsible reporting and faster iteration when improvements are needed.

Getting started with Suite

Here’s a simple, safe‑by‑default workflow to get you from zero to confident.

1) Prepare your environment

  • Use a trusted computer and an official hardware wallet. Physically inspect the device and packaging. Never use second‑hand wallets for storing real funds.
  • Download software only from official sources. Verify file signatures when possible. Bookmark the correct site to avoid look‑alikes.
  • Update your operating system, browser, and drivers before you begin. Reboots clear pending updates and driver locks.

2) Initialize and connect

  • Plug in your Trezor and follow on‑device prompts to initialize. Create a unique PIN and write your recovery phrase on paper—never digitally.
  • Open Suite and connect the device. The app will guide you through security checks and optional passphrase setup for advanced separation of funds.
  • Add your first account. For Bitcoin, choose between standard or native SegWit; for other networks, confirm the derivation path shown on the device.

3) Fund and organize

  • Generate a receive address, verify it on your Trezor screen, and label the deposit in Suite. Labels help future you remember the origin of funds.
  • Create separate accounts for savings and everyday spending. For testing, keep a dedicated account with small amounts.
  • Explore coin‑control (where available) to select inputs deliberately. This improves privacy and can help reduce future fees.

4) Maintain good habits

  • Periodically check your recovery phrase with the built‑in dry‑run feature. Store backups in separate, physically secure locations.
  • Learn fee basics, confirmations, and how different networks handle mempools. Patience is part of good operational security.
  • When in doubt, send a small test transaction first and confirm on‑device before moving larger amounts.

Security basics that really matter

Suite adds guardrails, but your habits are the firewall. Keep these principles front and center.

Good practice

Verify every address on your hardware screen. If the characters do not match exactly, cancel the action. Hardware verification defeats most clipboard attacks and spoofed interfaces.


Important

Back up your recovery phrase offline. Do not type, scan, or photograph it. Paper or metal backups kept in separate locations reduce the chance of a single point of failure.


Never share

No legitimate support will ask for your seed or passphrase. The Suite App does not need your recovery phrase to view balances or receive funds. If anyone asks, it is a scam—end the conversation immediately.

Compatibility and configuration

Use defaults first, then customize as your needs grow.

Desktop & mobile

Suite offers a desktop app for major operating systems and a mobile companion for on‑the‑go visibility (functionality differs by platform). Desktop is ideal for device management, recovery checks, and privacy‑sensitive workflows. Mobile shines for quick balance glances and receive‑only use cases when you don’t have access to the primary computer.

If you frequently switch machines, consider a dedicated user profile for Suite with restricted permissions and fewer background apps. This reduces attack surface and distractions during high‑value operations.

Node connections

By default, Suite connects to maintained backends for convenience. Advanced users can point Suite at their own full node or a vetted third‑party endpoint. Running your own infrastructure increases sovereignty and reduces reliance on external providers; just ensure uptime and correct configuration before trusting large transfers.

When experimenting with new networks, start small and verify addresses carefully. Make sure derivation paths and account types match your expectations before funding new accounts.

Frequently asked questions

Does Suite hold my funds?

No. Suite is an interface. Your private keys remain on your Trezor hardware wallet. Transactions are created in software but must be approved on the device. If you disconnect the device, Suite cannot sign on its own.

Can I use Suite without a hardware wallet?

Suite is built around hardware‑based key storage. Some read‑only features may work without a device, but for secure transactions you need a Trezor. This design keeps keys offline and protected from typical malware.

What happens if my device is lost or damaged?

Your recovery phrase restores access on a new device. Keep backups safe and test recovery periodically with a dry‑run. Remember: anyone with the phrase can control funds, so treat it like keys to a vault.

How does Suite help with fees?

You can set fees manually or rely on smart estimates. For Bitcoin, coin‑control lets you choose inputs to avoid linking unrelated funds or paying more than necessary. When in doubt, send a small test first.

Is Suite open‑source?

Yes, Suite is developed openly. Community transparency leads to faster iteration and broader review. Check official repositories for license details and contribution guides.

Can Suite connect through Tor or a VPN?

Many users prefer routing through privacy tools. Tor can add latency, but it helps hide network metadata. A well‑configured VPN provides another layer when Tor is not an option. Test thoroughly before large transfers.

Own your keys. Own your time.

Self‑custody rewards consistent habits. The Trezor Suite App puts the most important actions—address verification, labeling, fee control—front and center so you can build a reliable routine. Start with the basics, grow at your pace, and keep security boring.
