Bitcoin Software
An overview of Bitcoin software for your computer, node, and wallet.
Whether you're using services, downloading software, or anything else related to Bitcoin, always make sure to check for yourself that you're on the right site and that what you're downloading is what you expect. On this page you'll find links directly to the services mentioned, but even so, show healthy skepticism and check for yourself. Don't trust, verify.
Wallet software
Several hardware wallet manufacturers make an accompanying software wallet. There are several reasons to avoid using those. Below are some recommended alternatives, all of which are FOSS*, and which work with most hardware wallets.
Sparrow Wallet
Sparrow Wallet is a fantastic wallet software for your computer. It offers a wide range of features that you'll find more and more useful the more you learn about Bitcoin. On top of that, the way Sparrow displays transactions and overviews can even help you understand how Bitcoin works.
