Trezor Suite — manage your hardware wallet with confidence

Overview

Trezor Suite is a desktop-first application designed to deliver a reliable and privacy-conscious interface for interacting with your Trezor hardware wallet. Unlike web-only approaches, the desktop Suite lets you keep interactions local, store account metadata privately, and reduce exposure to browser-based tracking or subtle WebUSB permission issues. The Suite is compatible with Trezor models and supports a wide range of cryptocurrencies through native integrations and community-maintained backends.

Download & Installation

Download only from the official source at trezor.io/start. Choose the build for your operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux). After downloading, run the installer and follow the guided steps. On Windows, you may be asked to allow administrative permissions for driver support. macOS users might need to allow the application in Security preferences depending on Gatekeeper settings. After installation, launch Trezor Suite and connect your Trezor device with a reliable data-capable USB cable. The Suite will detect your device and guide you through the onboarding flow: create a new wallet, restore an existing one, or simply access your accounts for reading.

Security model — short & clear

Trezor Suite is intentionally thin: all private keys and signing operations remain on the hardware device. Requests from the Suite to the device are relayed locally; the Suite produces unsigned transactions and prompts you to verify them on the Trezor screen before final approval. This ensures that even if your computer is compromised, an attacker cannot sign transactions without physical device confirmation. Additionally, the Suite offers features like CoinJoin support (with compatible tools), transaction labeling for auditing, and optional network options to use privacy-friendly backends.

Why use the Suite?

While some users prefer browser-based flows for convenience, Trezor Suite gives you a more consistent, auditable environment. It centralizes account management, firmware updates, and recovery processes, and reduces reliance on browser extensions or third-party connectors. For advanced users, it offers options to change backend servers or run your own node, enhancing privacy and sovereignty.

Daily usage & best practices

For routine small-value transactions, use Trezor Suite to prepare and sign transactions — always verify recipient addresses on the device’s screen. For larger or more sensitive operations, consider using a clean environment, double-checking addresses, and splitting transfers to minimize exposure. Always back up your recovery seed and store it offline in a secure physical medium (paper or metal). Never enter your recovery phrase into any software or website except during the official device recovery flow on the hardware itself.

Troubleshooting

If your device is not recognized: check the USB cable (avoid charge-only cables), try a different port, restart the Suite, and ensure your OS has granted required permissions. On Linux, make sure udev rules are configured if needed. If firmware update fails, follow the Suite prompts carefully; aborting mid-update can be problematic — contact Trezor Support with logs if necessary. In environments with restricted USB policies, installing the Trezor Bridge or running the Suite as admin may resolve detection issues.

Open-source & verification

Trezor Suite’s code is available for inspection by the community. Whenever possible, verify release checksums or signed releases to ensure authenticity. If you are security-conscious, consider building the Suite from source and verifying the build artifacts using reproducible build instructions available in the official repositories.
