Official Trézor Suite — Desktop & Web App for Hardware Wallets

1. What Is the Trezor Suite App?

The Trezor Suite App is an official software application developed by SatoshiLabs for managing cryptocurrencies with a Trezor hardware wallet. It provides a clean dashboard, portfolio overview, transaction history, exchange integration, exchange rates, and security tools — all while keeping your private keys safe within your hardware device.

Trezor Suite is available as:

  • Desktop App (Windows, macOS, Linux)
  • Web App (browser-based interface)
  • Cryptowallet management interface
  • Optional Browser Extension (for convenient wallet connection)

The Suite complements the Trezor hardware wallets (e.g., Model T, Trezor One), giving users full control over crypto assets with secure offline key storage.


2. Why Use Trezor Suite?

The Trezor Suite App is designed to make crypto management:

  • Safer — private keys never leave the hardware device
  • Clearer — consolidated portfolio view
  • Convenient — send/receive/manage transactions
  • Up to date — live exchange rates
  • Integrated — support for over a thousand cryptocurrencies and tokens

With progressive security defaults and built-in firmware updates, the Suite modernizes your interaction with your Trezor device.


3. Supported Platforms

Trezor Suite can be accessed:

a. Desktop App

Installable on:

  • Windows
  • macOS
  • Linux

The desktop version is ideal if you prefer a dedicated local app.

b. Web App

Accessible via most modern browsers. Works wherever you can open https://suite.trezor.io.

c. Browser Extension

A lightweight extension connects Trezor with decentralized apps (dApps) or web wallets, increasing compatibility with DeFi applications.


4. Before You Begin

Hardware Wallet Required

The Trezor Suite App does not store or custody your crypto — you need a Trezor hardware wallet (e.g., Trezor Model T or Trezor One). The Suite serves as the interface.

Official Source

Always start from the official site:
👉 https://trezor.io/start

This ensures you download authentic software and avoid phishing pages.

Security Best Practices

  • Do not enter your seed phrase online.
  • Always verify the URL and certificate in the browser.
  • Keep your firmware up to date via the Suite.
  • Use antivirus and secure your computer.

5. Installing Trezor Suite (Step-by-Step)

Step 1 — Go to the Official Start Page

Visit the official Trezor onboarding page:
👉 https://trezor.io/start

This page automatically detects your platform and presents installation instructions.

Step 2 — Download the App

Choose the appropriate version:

  • Windows / macOS / Linux installer
  • Direct Web App (suite.trezor.io)
  • Browser extension (for supported browsers)

Step 3 — Connect Your Trezor Device

Use a USB port or compatible cable to connect your Trezor hardware wallet.

Step 4 — Follow On-Screen Setup

The Suite will guide you to:

  • Initialize your device (if new)
  • Recover an existing wallet (if migrating)
  • Create a backup seed phrase securely
  • Set a PIN on your Trezor device

Step 5 — Accept Firmware Updates

If new firmware is available, the Suite will prompt you. Updates enhance security and add new features.

8. Browser Extension — What It Does

The Trezor browser extension is designed to:

  • Enable connection with web wallets

With the extension installed, approved apps can request signatures from your Trezor.

Security note: Approve only trusted websites before signing.


9. Crypto Security With Trezor Suite

Private Keys

Private keys reside only on your Trezor device. The Suite acts as a controller but never exports keys.

PIN Protection

Your device is protected by a PIN you set during setup. Enter it only on the device screen.

Seed Phrase

Your recovery seed is your backup — store it offline safely. Never enter it into software or browsers.


10. Supported Coins & Tokens

Trezor Suite supports a wide range of cryptocurrencies:

  • Bitcoin (BTC)
  • Ethereum (ETH) & ERC-20 tokens
  • Litecoin (LTC)
  • Dash

  • And others via external integrations and plugins

Support continues to expand.
