Trezor® Suite App® | Official Setup & Usage Guide (Trezor.io/Start)

What Is the Trezor Suite App?

The Trezor Suite App is the official software companion for your Trezor hardware wallet. Available on desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux) and mobile, it provides an intuitive and secure interface for managing Bitcoin, Ethereum, and hundreds of altcoins — all while keeping your private keys safely stored inside your Trezor device.

Trezor Suite allows you to send and receive crypto, check your portfolio balance, connect to DeFi apps, and verify transactions — all with hardware-level security.

Step 1: Download the Trezor Suite App

Visit the official Trezor Suite download page and select your operating system.

Windows (.exe)
macOS (.dmg)
Linux (.AppImage)

Security Tip: Always download from Trezor.io — never from third-party sources or ads.

Step 2: Connect Your Trezor Device

After installing, launch Trezor Suite and connect your Trezor Model One or Model T via USB. The app will automatically detect your device and prompt you to verify the firmware.

Follow on-screen instructions to ensure your firmware is genuine. Then, continue to create or restore a wallet.

Step 3: Create or Restore a Wallet

Create a New Wallet – The app will generate a recovery seed (12 or 24 words). Write it down and store it offline.
Restore Existing Wallet – Select “Recover Wallet” and enter your recovery phrase on the Trezor device itself.

Important: Never type or store your recovery phrase on a phone or computer. Offline backups only!

Step 4: Explore Trezor Suite App Features

Dashboard: View portfolio value, balances, and charts.
Send/Receive: Manage Bitcoin, Ethereum, and altcoin transactions.
Security Settings: Set PIN, passphrase, and firmware protection.
DeFi Integration: Connect to dApps through compatible browser extensions.
Mobile Sync: Track your balances securely via the Trezor mobile app.

Step 5: Manage Altcoins and Connect to DeFi

From within the Trezor Suite App, you can add multiple cryptocurrency accounts. Enable Ethereum or other networks to interact with DeFi apps safely by connecting your Trezor through supported wallets (like MetaMask).

This lets you swap tokens, stake, and interact with dApps — with your keys remaining securely in your hardware wallet.

Step 6: Backup and Protect Your Recovery Phrase

Write your recovery words on paper or use a metal backup solution.
Store backups in multiple secure, offline locations.
Never upload or share your seed phrase.
Keep your device firmware up to date via the official app.

Remember: “Not your keys, not your coins.” With Trezor Suite, you hold your own keys.
